- Ice cubes
- 1 green olive or lemon twist for garnish
Instructions
- Chill a martini glass by filling it with ice water or placing it in the freezer.
- Fill a mixing glass or shaker with ice cubes.
- Pour the gin, dry vermouth, and orange bitters (if using) over the ice.
- Stir gently for about 30 seconds until well-chilled and diluted.
- Discard the ice water from the martini glass and strain the cocktail into the glass.
- Garnish with a green olive on a toothpick or a lemon twist.
Tips
- For a drier martini, use less vermouth (e.g., 1/4 oz).
- For a vodka martini, substitute vodka for gin.
- Serve immediately; martinis do not keep.
