Manny’s Martini Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Chill the Glass

   Put your martini glass in the freezer or fill it with ice water to chill while you prepare the drink.

2. 2

   Combine Ingredients

   In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz of gin, 0.5 oz of dry vermouth, and 0.5 oz of olive brine.

3. 3

   Add Ice

   Fill the shaker with ice cubes (about 1 cup) to cool the drink effectively.

4. 4

   Shake or Stir

   Shake the cocktail shaker vigorously for about 15 seconds, or stir gently with a bar spoon for about 30 seconds for a smoother texture.

5. 5

   Prepare the Glass

   Remove the chilled martini glass from the freezer or discard the ice water. Strain the mixture into the glass, ensuring no ice gets through.

6. 6

   Garnish

   Garnish with 2 olives on a cocktail stick. If desired, add a lemon twist for an additional aromatic touch.

7. 7

   Optional Drizzle

   For an extra twist, drizzle 0.5 tsp of herb-infused olive oil on top before serving.
