Martini

Garnish & Finish

Method

Martini

1

Chill glass

Place a chilled martini glass or coupe in the freezer for at least 5 minutes or fill it with ice water while you prepare the cocktail. Set aside.

2

Add ingredients

Fill a mixing tin or cocktail shaker halfway with fresh ice (about 1 cup). Pour in 2.5 oz citroen (lemon) vodka and 0.5 oz dry vermouth.

3

Shake

Cap the shaker and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is very cold and frosty. Because this cocktail is specified 'shaken', give it a brisk shake to both chill and slightly dilute the drink, while aerating for a silkier texture.

4

Strain

Discard ice or water from the chilled glass. Double-strain the cocktail into the chilled martini glass using the shaker's built-in strainer or a Hawthorne plus fine mesh strainer to remove small ice chips.

Garnish & Finish

5

Cut a strip of lemon peel about 1/2" wide and 2–3" long. Hold the peel with the outer (yellow) side facing down over the cocktail and give it a quick twist to express the oils onto the surface. Optionally rub the rim of the glass with the peel for extra aroma.

6

Drop the twisted peel into the cocktail or neatly perch it on the rim. If using the optional 'spritz' of lemon oil, give one light spritz over the drink before dropping the twist. Serve immediately, 'up' (no ice).
