Martini

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Drinks
The king of cocktails. According to Winston Churchill, for the perfect martini, it is enough to pour a glass of gin and 'glance at a bottle of vermouth from across the room'. This is the driest, cleanest drink in existence. There is nowhere to hide: the quality of the gin and the temperature are everything.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Mixing glass: Not a shaker! Martinis are stirred.
  • Chilled Y-glass: Mandatorily frozen.

Allergen Information

⚠️ Sulphites (in Vermouth)

Instructions

1 ✓

Fill the mixing glass with ice, pour water over it, stir, then drain the water.

Tip: This 'ice washing' removes meltwater and freezer odours from the surface of the ice.
2 ✓

Pour the gin and vermouth over the ice.

Tip: Vermouth is wine-based, so it must be kept in the fridge after opening, otherwise it turns vinegary/oxidises.
3 ✓

Stir gently but continuously with a bar spoon for approx. 30-45 seconds.

Tip: The goal is cooling without dilution. Stirring is less aggressive than shaking, so the drink retains its silky, oily texture.
4 ✓

Strain into the ice-cold glass and garnish with an olive.

Tip: The saltiness of the olive highlights the juniper taste of the gin.

Recipe FAQ

Shaken or stirred?
James Bond was wrong. Gin is stirred to keep it crystal clear. Shaking makes it cloudy and watery (due to ice shards).

Ingredients

  • 60 ml London Dry Gin (from the freezer)
