Martini
This is the quintessential and likely most famous of cocktails.
Ingredients
- 2-1/2 oz Tanqueray London Dry Gin
- 1/2 oz Martini & Rossi Extra Dry Vermouth
- 1 dash Fee Brothers West Indies Orange Bitters
Method
Add all ingredients to a shaker and stir for 25-30 seconds until very cold and diluted. Strain into chilled coupe or martini glass. Express and garnish glass with a lemon twist - or - 2-3x Manzanilla olives without brine.
Make it a Churchill martini by looking at, but not pouring the vermouth.
Make it dirty by adding 1/4 oz of Manzanilla olive brine and garnish with 2-3x Manzanilla olives.
