Cocktail Preparation

1

Chill the Glass

Begin by chilling your martini glass by filling it with ice and water. Set aside while you prepare the cocktail.

Mix the Cocktail

In a mixing glass filled with ice, pour in the gin and dry vermouth. Stir gently for about 30 seconds until well chilled.

3

Strain and Serve

Dump the ice and water from the chilled martini glass. Strain the mixed cocktail into the glass.

4

Garnish

Garnish with either an olive dropped into the glass or a lemon twist by twisting the peel over the drink and then adding it.
