Method

Preparation

1

Chill the Glass

Place a martini glass in the freezer for about 10 minutes to chill it while you prepare the cocktail.

2

Mix the Ingredients

In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz of gin, 1 oz of dry vermouth, and 0.5 oz of olive brine.

3

Add Ice

Fill the shaker with 1 cup of ice cubes, covering the liquid completely.

4

Shake or Stir

Shake the cocktail shaker vigorously for about 15-20 seconds, or stir gently for about 30 seconds if you prefer a less aerated drink.

5

Strain into Glass

Remove the martini glass from the freezer and strain the mixture into the chilled glass.

6

Garnish

Garnish with a single olive placed on a cocktail stick or dropped directly into the drink.
