Description
A classic gin martini recipe that combines the refreshing botanical flavors of gin with the subtle richness of dry vermouth for a perfectly balanced, timeless cocktail.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ½ oz gin (London Dry Gin is a great choice)
- ½ oz dry vermouth
- Ice (for mixing)
- Lemon peel or olive (for garnish)
Instructions
- Chill your martini glass: Pop your martini glass into the freezer for about 5 minutes to get it nice and frosty.
- Mix the ingredients: In a mixing glass, add gin and dry vermouth. Fill the glass with ice, and stir (not shake!) for about 30 seconds to chill the mixture.
- Strain and serve: Using a strainer, pour the mixture into the chilled martini glass.
- Garnish: Finish with a lemon twist or an olive, depending on your preference.
- Enjoy: Sip slowly and savor the flavors of this classic cocktail.
Notes
For a wet martini, increase the amount of vermouth to 1 oz.
For a dry martini, reduce the vermouth to just a splash, or even swirl the vermouth in the glass and discard before adding the gin.
