Ingredients
- ice
- 2 1/2 ounces gin
- 1/4 to 1/2 ounce dry vermouth
- Green olive(s) or a twist of lemon peel
Instructions
- Toss a handful of ice into a mixing glass. (A pint glass works quite well, as does the bottom portion of a cocktail shaker.)
- Pour in the gin and vermouth. Stir for 30 seconds.
- Strain the martini into a martini glass. Drop in an olive or perch the twist on the edge of the glass.
Notes
- Dry: Go easy on the vermouth. (Traditionally, it was the converse, relying on a generous pour of vermouth.)
- Dirty: Add a splash of olive brine.
- Vodka: Duh. Swap gin for vodka.
- Perfect or 50-50: Rely on equal amounts sweet and dry vermouth.
- Gibson: Lose the olive and the twist. Toss in a cocktail onion instead.
