1
Chill glass
Place a martini or coupe glass in the freezer for at least 10 minutes or fill with ice water while you prepare the drink to ensure the cocktail stays cold.
2
Combine ingredients
Add the dry gin, dry vermouth, and 1.5 cups of ice to a blender. Use measured amounts for consistent balance (3 oz gin : 0.5 oz vermouth).
3
Blend
Blend on high for 10–20 seconds until the ice is finely crushed and the mixture is smooth but still pourable — similar to a slushy. Avoid over-blending to prevent excessive dilution; stop when texture is velvety and chilled.

4
Remove the chilled glass from the freezer or discard the ice water and dry the glass. If you want an extra-cold rim, run a lemon twist quickly around the rim and chill for 10 seconds.
5
Strain the blended martini into the chilled glass. Use a fine mesh strainer if you prefer a smoother texture without larger ice shards.

6
Express oils from the lemon twist over the surface by holding the twist over the drink and giving it a quick twist, then drop it into the drink or discard per preference. Alternatively, add a single green olive on a pick and place it in the center for a savory touch.
7
Serve immediately while the martini is frozen and slushy.
