Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 oz Gin (or Vodka)
- 0.5 oz Dry Vermouth
- 1 cup Ice Cubes
- 1 piece Lemon Twist or Green Olive
Instructions
Chill a martini glass by filling it with ice water and setting it aside while you prepare the drink.
Fill a mixing glass or shaker with 1 cup of ice cubes.
Add 2.5 oz of gin (or vodka) to the mixing glass.
Pour 0.5 oz of dry vermouth into the glass.
Stir the mixture with a bar spoon for about 15-20 seconds, or until thoroughly chilled. Alternatively, shake vigorously if you prefer a 'shaken' martini.
Empty the ice water from the martini glass and strain the chilled mixture into the glass.
Garnish with either a lemon twist (slice a thin peel of lemon and twist it over the martini to release its oils) or a green olive, depending on your preference.
Serve immediately and enjoy responsibly.
