Martini




One of the first recipes any bartender needs to learn. The classic martini is an excellent place to begin building a martini repetoire.

INGREDIENTS:


1 1/2 oz gin
1/2 tsp dry vermouth
1 green olive or lemon twist for garnish
PREPARATION:

Pour the ingredients into a mixing glass with ice cubes.
Stir well.
Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
Garnish with the olive or lemon twist.
There are many variations on the classic martini that are a personal preference:

Dry Martini-Traditionally uses French vermouth, however trends define a Dry Martini as using less vermouth.
Perfect Martini-Use equal parts of sweet and dry vermouth and garnish with a lemon twist or maraschino cherry.
Gibson-Garnish a dry Martini with a cocktail onion.
Vodka Martini-Replace gin with vodka for a nice alternative.
