Ingredients
- 1 strip lemon peel (about 2 inches long, 1/2 inch wide)
- 2 pitted green olives (preferably stuffed with pimento)
Instructions
- Using a vegetable peeler or sharp knife, cut a strip of lemon peel, avoiding the white pith as much as possible.
- Twist the lemon peel over the martini glass to release the oils, then rub the rim of the glass with the peel.
- Drop the lemon twist into the glass.
- Spear the olives on a cocktail pick and place them in the glass.
Tips
- For a drier martini, use a lemon twist only; for a dirtier martini, add olive brine to the cocktail.
- Store leftover lemon peel wrapped in plastic in the refrigerator for up to a day.
