The gin martini, made with gin, dry vermouth, and garnishes, is the definition of a classic cocktail. Hundreds of different cocktails served in a martini glass have been called "martinis," but for me, there's only one definitive version. Serve it well-chilled and use the best ingredients you can find, because the simplicity of the recipe allows for the purity of the cocktail to shine.

PERFECT GIN MARTINI

Crisp, clean gin martini cocktail. One is not enough! Chill the gin in the freezer overnight before preparing the drink. This prevents the ice from melting and diluting the drink. Do not allow plastic or metal of any kind to touch the drink.

Tips:

  • Choose the right gin. London Dry gin is the classic choice for a Martini, but you can also use other styles of gin, such as Old Tom gin or Plymouth gin.
  • Use fresh lemon juice. Fresh lemon juice will give your Martini a brighter flavor than bottled lemon juice.
  • Chill your ingredients. Chilling your gin, vermouth, and glass will help to create a cold, refreshing Martini.
  • Stir, don't shake. Shaking a Martini will dilute it and make it cloudy. Stirring it gently will keep it clear and cold.
  • Garnish with a lemon twist or olive. A lemon twist or olive is the classic garnish for a Martini, but you can also use other garnishes, such as a cocktail onion or a pickled pearl onion.

Conclusion:

The Martini is a classic cocktail that is enjoyed by people all over the world. It is a simple cocktail to make, but it can be difficult to perfect. By following the tips above, you can make a great Martini that will impress your friends and family.
