- 1 no Large Martini Glass
- Olive Spear
- Ice As required
Instructions
- Chill a Martini glass in the freezer for about 10 mins.

- Fill a martini shaker about 3/4 full of cracked, clean ice.
- Pour your gin into the shaker and let stand for 60 seconds.
- Shake, shake, shake, about fifteen, vigorous, diagonal shakes should suffice.
- Put the shaker down and allow it to rest for another 60 seconds.
- Get a well chilled martini glass from the freezer.
- Pour a small amount of Vermouth into the glass and swirl the vermouth in the glass so that the sides of the glass are coated.
- :- Discard the remaining Vermouth.
- Spear an olive or two and place it in the glass.
- Strain the gin into the glass.
- :- Serve.
- Variations:- :- Vodka Martini - Replace gin with vodka. :- Dirty Martini - Add 1/2 oz of olive juice into the shaker along with the gin/vodka. Add more olive juice if you like extra dirty martinis. :- Replace olives with a lemon twist or a pickled onion.
- Tips:- :- Keep gin/vodka in the freezer. :- A cheap, lower quality ingredient will leave you disappointed. Good liquor, crisp olives, quality mixers will put a smile on your face. :- Keep your vermouth in the fridge so that you don`t warm your glass when you swirl with it. :-You can use different kinds of stuffed green olives to suit your mood, like pimento, jalapeno, garlic, lemon twist, mushroom, bleu cheese, sun dried tomato, turkish pepper etc :-Feel free to use your favorite gin and vermouth... after all your perception is your reality!

It is certainly the perfect martini!!!!
The martini was awesome, but I like pickled onions better than olives. Great recipe, yet to try out the different variations.. looking forward it.
