1
Chill your Glass
Start by chilling your martini glass. You can do this by filling it with ice water and letting it sit while you prepare the drink.
2
Mix the Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, add ice cubes filling it about halfway. Pour in 2 oz of gin and then add 0.5 oz of dry vermouth.
3
Shake or Stir
If you prefer a traditional martini, stir the mixture gently with a bar spoon for about 30 seconds. For a shaken martini, secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds.
4
Strain into Glass
Remove the ice from your chilled martini glass. Using a strainer, pour the mixed drink into the glass.
5
Garnish
Add your choice of garnish. If using an olive, drop it into the glass. If using a lemon twist, twist the peel over the drink to release essential oils, then place it on the rim or drop it in.
6
Serve
Your martini is ready to be served. Enjoy responsibly!
