Perfectly Dry Martini
-by Cat Martini
INGREDIENTS:
- 6 oz good gin (Hendrick’s or Tanqueray)
- 1 cap-ful dry vermouth (use the cap on your bottle of vermouth to measure)
- Garnish (either lemon twist or olives – bleu cheese stuffed are a favorite of mine, as are garlic stuffed)
- 8 oz martini glass (yes, I have several)
- Ice (enough to fill a cocktail shaker 3/4 of the way full plus the martini glass)
- Cocktail Shaker
DIRECTIONS:
Fill martini glass with ice and add enough water to cover ice, set aside while making martini.
Fill cocktail shaker 3/4 full with ice, add gin and vermouth. Shake until well blended.
Empty iced water from martini glass, strain gin and vermouth mixture into the martini glass.
Garnish as desired.
Enjoy – repeatedly.
