    Chill the Glass

    Begin by chilling your martini glass. Fill it with ice water and set it aside while you prepare the martini.

  3. 3

    Shake or Stir

    Shake the mixture vigorously for about 15 seconds if you prefer a shaken martini, or stir gently for about 30 seconds for a smoother texture.

    Strain and Serve

    Empty the ice water from your chilled martini glass. Strain the cocktail mixture into the glass.

Garnishing
