Dry Martini Recipe

The Dry Martini Recipe blends gin and dry vermouth with traditional garnishes like olives or lemon peel to create a classic cocktail served chilled. Stirring the mixture with ice chills and slightly dilutes the drink for balanced smoothness. This recipe offers flexibility to adjust the vermouth ratio or garnish to your taste preferences.

Description

The Dry Martini Recipe calls for 2½ ounces of gin combined with ½ ounce of dry vermouth, stirred with ice to chill and dilute subtly. After stirring, it is strained into a chilled glass and garnished with an olive, lemon peel, cocktail onion, or cucumber slice, allowing customization. The interplay between botanical gin and herbaceous vermouth creates a crisp and clear cocktail with a clean finish. Variations include adjusting the gin-to-vermouth ratio or substituting vodka for gin.

The cocktail is best served immediately after preparation, using fresh garnishes to enhance aroma. This drink suits those who enjoy spirits with a drier profile and delicate complexity.

The recipe notes encourage customizing the vermouth amount to suit individual preference. Nutritional estimates exclude garnish components due to variability. The method prioritizes stirring over shaking for clarity and smooth texture.
