Dry Martini

Ingredients

• 60 ml gin
• 10 ml dry vermouth
• An olive, or a strip of lemon peel
• Ice

Method

1. Chill the glass first — fill it with ice and water while you make the drink, then tip it out.
2. Stir the gin and vermouth with ice for 30 seconds. Stirred, not shaken: shaking clouds it and waters it faster.
3. Strain into the cold glass and add the olive, or squeeze a strip of lemon peel over the top and drop it in.
