Vodka & Gin Martinis Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Chill the Glass

   Begin by chilling your martini glasses. You can do this by placing them in the freezer for about 10 minutes or filling them with ice water while you prepare the martinis.

2. 2

   Prepare the Mixing Glass

   In a mixing glass, add 2 oz of vodka, 2 oz of gin, and 0.5 oz of dry vermouth.

3. 3

   Add Ice

   Fill the mixing glass with ice cubes until it's about three-quarters full. This will help chill and dilute the mixture.

4. 4

   Stir the Mixture

   Using a bar spoon, stir the mixture gently for about 30 seconds. This allows the ingredients to blend together and chill without over-diluting.

5. 5

   Strain into Glass

   Remove the ice from your chilled martini glasses. Using a strainer, pour the chilled mixture from the mixing glass into each martini glass.

6. 6

   Garnish

   Garnish each martini with a twist of lemon peel and an olive. To make a lemon twist, use a vegetable peeler or a knife to slice off a thin strip of lemon peel.

7. 7

   Serve

   Serve immediately and enjoy your vodka and gin martinis!
