A Dry Martini please....

Dry Martini:

50ml Good Quality Gin
Dry Vermouth
1 Green Olive or Lemon Zest

Add a couple of drops of vermouth into a mixing glass filled with ice; stir gently and strain out the excess liquid.

Add more ice, the gin and stir again. Wait again until the mixing glass has frosted, then strain into a chilled Martini glass.

Garnish with either a strip of lemon zest or a green olive.

This drink can also be served over ice in a rocks glass.
