1
Chill the Glass
Begin by chilling your martini glass. You can do this by filling it with ice water and letting it sit while you mix your drink.
2
Mix the Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz of gin and 1 oz of dry vermouth. Fill the shaker with ice.
3
Shake or Stir
Shake the cocktail shaker vigorously for about 15 seconds or stir for about 30 seconds, depending on your preference for a shaken or stirred martini.
4
Strain into Glass
Empty the ice water from your chilled martini glass. Using a strainer, pour the mixed drink from the shaker into the glass.
5
Garnish
Add an olive or a lemon twist to your martini for garnish. If using a lemon twist, twist the peel over the drink to release the oils before adding.
