Ingredients
- 2 1/2 ounces gin
- 1/2 ounce dry vermouth
- Lemon twist or green olives for garnish
Instructions
- Chill a martini glass by freezing it for at least 10 minutes or filling it with ice water while you make the cocktail.
- In a mixing glass, combine the gin and vermouth. Add plenty of ice and stir for about 30 seconds until well chilled and slightly diluted.
- Discard the ice from the martini glass. Strain the cocktail into the chilled glass.
- Garnish with a lemon twist—express the oils over the surface, rub the rim, and drop it in—or add green olives on a pick.
