1
Chill the Glass
Begin by chilling a martini glass. You can do this by filling it with ice water while you prepare the drink.
2
Mix the Ingredients
In a mixing glass, add 2 oz of gin and 0.5 oz of dry vermouth.
3
Add Ice
Fill the mixing glass with ice cubes, about 1 cup, to chill the mixture.
4
Stir Well
Stir the mixture gently for about 30 seconds to ensure it is well chilled and diluted.
5
Strain into Glass
Remove the ice water from the martini glass and strain the chilled mixture into the glass.
6
Garnish
Garnish your martini with a whole olive, placing it directly in the glass or on a skewer.
