    In a mixing glass, add the gin and dry vermouth. Fill the mixing glass with ice.

  3. 3

    Stir

    Stir the mixture gently for about 30 seconds until well chilled.

  4. 4

    Strain and Serve

    Empty the ice water from the chilled martini glass. Using a strainer, pour the chilled mixture into the glass.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Garnish with a single olive on a toothpick or directly in the glass, and serve.
