1
Chill the Glass
Begin by chilling a martini glass. You can do this by filling it with ice water and letting it sit while you prepare the drink.
2
Mix the Ingredients
In a mixing glass filled with ice, combine 2 oz of gin and 0.5 oz of dry vermouth. Stir gently for about 30 seconds until well chilled.
3
Strain and Serve
Empty the ice water from your chilled martini glass. Strain the mixture from the mixing glass into the chilled martini glass.
4
Garnish
Garnish your martini with an olive. Optionally, add a lemon twist by twisting the peel over the drink to release its oils, then drop it into the glass.
