Martini
A classic Martini is a simple, elegant cocktail built from just two spirits: gin and dry vermouth. The technique is all about chilling it down with ice, then straining it into a cold glass. While some prefer a lemon twist, an olive is a traditional garnish that adds a briny counterpoint.

Mix and Serve
Combine the 1 2/3 oz gin and 1/3 oz dry vermouth in a mixing glass filled with ice cubes.
Stir the mixture well until it's thoroughly chilled, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Strain the drink into a chilled martini cocktail glass. Garnish with the 1 olive, or express the oils from a lemon peel over the drink before dropping it in.
