Preparation

  1. 1

    Chill the Glass

    Before mixing your martini, chill your glass by filling it with ice water. Let it sit while you prepare the drink.

  2. 2

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz of gin and 0.5 oz of dry vermouth. Fill the shaker with ice cubes.

  3. 3

    Shake or Stir

    Depending on your preference, either shake the mixture for about 15 seconds to chill and dilute or stir gently for about 30 seconds until well chilled.

  4. 4

    Strain into Glass

    Discard the ice water from the chilled glass and strain the mixture from the shaker into the glass.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Add an olive or a twist of lemon peel as a garnish to finish the drink.
