Dry Martini
One of the most simple, but classic cocktails, the dry martini is a combination of gin and vermouth. Here's how I make my version.
Servings: 1 serve
Ingredients
- 60 mL gin
- 15 mL dry vermouth
- 1 dash orange bitters
- Lemon zest
Instructions
- In a mixing glass add gin, vermouth and bitters.
- Add ice and stir for 45-60 seconds to chill. Strain into a chilled martini glass.
- Express lemon zest over the top of your martini and drop into your drink to serve.
Notes
- You want an ice cold martini. Therefore, chill the glass prior to making your cocktail. I like to keep the gin I use for martinis in the freezer, and dry vermouth is always stored in the fridge. Chills the drink from the get go!
