  • Chill your ingredients before mixing: Chilling the gin, vermouth, and glass will help to create a refreshing and well-balanced martini.
  • Use the right ratio of gin to vermouth: The classic ratio is 2:1 gin to vermouth, but you can adjust it to your taste.
  • Stir, don't shake: Stirring the martini will help to preserve the flavors of the gin and vermouth. Shaking will create a frothy and less flavorful martini.
