Description
The classic martini is a staple for any gathering after a long day at the (home?) office.
Ingredients
Scale
2 ounces premium vodka
1/2 ounce dry vermouth
Olive or lemon twist garnish
Instructions
- Add a scoop of fresh ice to a mixing glass
- Pour in the two ingredients
- Stir with a bar spoon for 30 seconds until the alcohol and vermouth are mixed well and chilled
- Pour into a cocktail glass and add garnish of your choice
Notes
For a dirty martini, add a splash of olive juice before mixing.
Mix the cocktail by stirring or by shaking. Shaking will add ice chips and dilute the drink a little, which some people prefer due to the alcohol forward content of the drink.
