The Perfect Martini
We like our dry martini chilled and powerful, with a good kick from the gin tempered by the vermouth.

Ingredients
- Four 25 ml measures of good gin
- One 25 ml measure of dry vermouth Noilly Pratt
- 1 inch strip of peel from an un-waxed lemon or skewered olives
Instructions
- Pre-chill your shaker, glass, gin, and vermouth.
- When cold, add ice to the shaker and measure in the required amounts of gin and vermouth. Shake or stir as required.
- Strain into your chilled glass and twist the lemon peel until it leaves a spritz of lemon oil on the surface of the cocktail or use an olive instead of a twist.
- Serve, holding by the stem.
Notes
Chilling all of your components is critical. The ice will take the cocktail to a super chill which won't be tempered by warm glasses. Love me an almost icy martini!
