Cocktail Ingredients
- 3 ounces Gin
- 1 ounce dry vermouth
- 1 dash bitters
- Olives for garnish
Instructions
- Fill the shaker with ice: Start by filling a cocktail shaker with enough ice to chill the ingredients thoroughly without watering them down too quickly.
- Add the spirits and bitters: Pour in 3 ounces of gin, 1 ounce of dry vermouth, and add a dash of bitters into the shaker.
- Shake vigorously: Secure the lid and shake the mixture vigorously for about 15-20 seconds to combine and chill the ingredients well.
- Strain into glass: Strain the chilled liquid into a Martini glass, ensuring no ice shards transfer into the drink.
- Garnish and serve: Garnish with olives on a cocktail pick and serve immediately for best flavor and presentation.
Notes
- For a smoother Martini, you can stir instead of shake to avoid over-dilution and cloudiness.
- If you prefer a drier Martini, reduce the amount of vermouth.
- Try a lemon twist instead of olives for a different garnish and flavor profile.
- Use high-quality gin and vermouth for the best taste experience.
