Instructions
Chill a martini glass by filling it with ice water and setting it aside while you prepare the drink.
In a mixing glass, combine the gin and dry vermouth.
Fill the mixing glass with ice and stir for about 30-40 seconds, until the mixture is very cold.
Discard the ice water in the martini glass and strain the martini mixture into the chilled glass.
Twist a strip of lemon peel over the drink to release its oils, then drop it in as a garnish, or use a green olive instead if you prefer.
