Martini Recipe: Classic Gin Martini
The other night I made myself a martini for the first time. It was a bit strong, but not at all half bad, and I think I’ll try improving on the theme tonight:
Here’s a recipe, so you can make your own Martini:
Ingredients:
6 Parts Gin
1 Part Extra Dry Vermouth
2 Green Olives
Instructions:
Chill a martini glass until cold. Pour gin, vermouth into a drink shaker packed with ice. Shake until condensation forms on the outside of the shaker, then strain and pour into the martini glass. Garnish with olives (can be frozen), and enjoy the mixed drink! Since the dryness of the martini depends on the amount of vermouth you add, some sources suggest swirling a dash of vermouth in the chilled glass, pouring it off into the sink, and then mixing the gin and ice, pouring into the vermouth-coated glass, and garnishing again with olives.
