The Martini

The Martini

 

An exercise in minimalism…
Do you know how to make this classic drink?

 

60ml (2oz) 6 O’clock London Dry Gin
10ml (1/3oz) Dry Vermouth

Stir down all the ingredients over lots of ice in a chilled cocktail mixing glass.
Strain into an ice cold coupette.
Garnish with lemon, orange or grapefruit; or use a with a firm, green olive for a more savoury affair.

Try making this classic your way: adjust the ratio of the ingredients;
switch dry vermouth for sweet vermouth; swap out the London Dry for
Brunel, or an alternative such as Sloe Gin.
Take the time to experiment and find your favourite!
