1
Chill the glass
Place a martini glass in the freezer for about 5–10 minutes or fill it with ice water to chill while preparing the drink.
2
Mix the cocktail
In a mixing glass, add 1.5 oz of gin and 0.5 oz of dry vermouth. Add 1 cup of ice.
3
Stir or shake
Stir the mixture gently for about 30 seconds for a classic martini. Alternatively, shake for a more diluted and colder version.
4
Strain
Discard the ice or water from the chilled martini glass. Strain the cocktail into the glass using a strainer.

5
Add garnish
Garnish with a lemon twist or a green olive, based on preference. Serve immediately.
