Provided by The Editors of Epicurious

Categories     Gin     Alcoholic     Christmas     Cocktail Party     Cocktail     Martini     Drink

Yield Makes 1 drink

Number Of Ingredients 4

Cracked ice
2 1/2 ounces London dry gin, such as Beefeater
1/2 ounce dry vermouth, preferably Noilly Prat
Green olive for garnish

Steps:

  • In mixing glass or cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine gin and vermouth. Stir well, about 30 seconds, then strain into martini glass. Garnish with olive or lemon twist and serve.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality gin. The gin is the most important ingredient in a martini, so it's important to use a good one. Look for a gin that is smooth and flavorful, with a juniper-forward taste.
  • Use a good vermouth. Vermouth is the other main ingredient in a martini, and it plays an important role in balancing out the gin. Use a dry vermouth for a classic martini, or a sweet vermouth for a sweeter variation.
  • Use chilled ingredients. All of the ingredients in a martini should be chilled before you start making it. This will help to create a refreshing and flavorful cocktail.
  • Stir, don't shake. A martini should be stirred, not shaken. Shaking a martini will bruise the gin and make it cloudy. Stirring will gently combine the ingredients and create a smooth and silky cocktail.
  • Garnish with a twist of lemon. A twist of lemon is the classic garnish for a martini. It adds a touch of citrus flavor and aroma to the cocktail.

Conclusion:

The perfect gin martini is a classic cocktail that is enjoyed by people all over the world. It is a simple cocktail to make, but it is important to use high-quality ingredients and to follow the proper steps. By following the tips in this article, you can make a perfect gin martini that you will enjoy for years to come.
