Scholar Martini Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Chill the Glass

   Place a martini glass in the freezer or fill it with ice water to chill while preparing the drink.

2. 2

   Mix the Ingredients

   In a cocktail shaker, combine the gin, dry vermouth, and olive brine. Fill the shaker with ice.

3. 3

   Shake or Stir

   Shake well for about 15 seconds if you prefer a chilled and slightly diluted martini. Alternatively, you can stir the mixture gently for about 30 seconds if you prefer a smoother texture.

4. 4

   Prepare the Glass

   Remove the martini glass from the freezer or empty the ice water. Strain the cocktail mixture into the chilled martini glass.

5. 5

   Garnish

   Skewer the olives on a cocktail pick and place them in the glass. Add a lemon twist by twisting the lemon peel over the drink to release its oils and then drop it in.
