Make a classic martini at home with this foolproof recipe. Whether you like your martini with a twist of lemon or dirty with olives, this recipe is for you. Yields 1 cocktail as written; you can mix several at once if you'd like.

Martini

dry vermouth

For a dirty martini: 1 to 3 teaspoons olive brine

lemon olives

Chill your martini glass by filling it to the brim with ice and water. Set it aside while you prepare the cocktail. 

Next, fill a mixing glass with ice. Pour in the gin and vermouth. If you’d like a dirty martini, start with 1 teaspoon olive brine. 

Use a mixing spoon to stir the mixture in a circular motion until it’s ice cold, about 30 seconds (which will seem like a long time, but it&#8217;s worth it). If you’re making a dirty martini, taste and add more brine by the teaspoon if desired.

Discard the ice and water in your martini glass. Strain the cold martini mixture into the cold glass. Garnish with a lemon twist or olives. Enjoy!

Much too much vermouth in those ratios. Drop a dollop of vermouth in the serving glass, give it a swirl and discard all that doesn’t adhere to the glass. Add chilled gin.

Kate, my favorite way to have martinis on hand is mixing 1-2/3 C London dry din with 1/3 C dry vermouth. I put this into a jar, cover with a lid, and place directly into the freezer. When I want a martini, I pour out what I want and garnish with olives and maybe add a splash of olive juice for a dirty.  Sometimes I will add an ice cube. Regardless,  mix a batch and freeze for a fabulous drink!

but but but ... you have not said anything about my own creation:  black forest martinis ... a major favourite here at my condo on our Friday evening gatherings ...  I made it up one day when I was making the popular chocolate martinis and noticed a cherry liquor on the shelf ... so added some to the chocolate martini ... and voila!! a black forest martini!
