Ingredients

Ice cubes
as needed
Gin
2 ounces
Dry vermouth
1 ounce
Green olive or Lemon twist
1 for garnish

Instructions

  1. Chill a martini glass in the freezer for at least 15 minutes before preparing the cocktail.
  2. In a mixing glass or cocktail shaker filled with ice, pour in the gin and dry vermouth.
  3. Stir the mixture well for about 30 seconds, or until the outside of the glass or shaker feels cold to the touch.
  4. Strain the cocktail into your chilled martini glass, leaving the ice behind in the shaker.
