The Perfect Martini

A martini is a serious cocktail, here is my favorite way to make it! With gin, obviously, and a twist of lemon.

Ingredients

Servings
  • 3 ounces gin I prefer Hendricks
  • 1/4 ounce dry vermouth
  • lemon strip of zest
  • ice

Instructions

  1. In a pint glass or cocktail shaker, add ice, gin and vermouth. Allow them to sit, without shaking or stirring, for 2-3 minutes. You can swirl it a few times if you want.
  2. If you are zesting the lemon, do it right over the martini glass.
  3. Strain the martini into a chilled martini glass, give the lemon zest a twist over the glass and add it to the drink.
  4. Serve right away to your adoring fans.

Notes

  • This is a very strong drink. If you are a lightweight, you may want to share it. You can also make this with 2 ounces of gin if you prefer.
