Martinis Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Chill the Glass

   Start by chilling your martini glass. You can do this by filling it with ice water and setting it aside while you prepare the drink.

2. 2

   Mix the Ingredients

   In a mixing glass, add 2 oz of gin and 1 oz of dry vermouth. Fill the mixing glass with ice, enough to cover the liquid.

3. 3

   Stir the Mixture

   Using a bar spoon, stir the mixture gently for about 30 seconds. This will chill the drink and mix the ingredients well.

4. 4

   Strain into Glass

   Remove the ice water from your chilled martini glass and strain the mixed drink into the glass using a cocktail strainer.

5. 5

   Add Garnish

   Garnish your martini by adding 2 olives on a cocktail pick or as desired. Optionally, add a twist of lemon peel for extra flavor.
