5 parts gin to 1 part dry vermouth, garnished with an olive.

Martini (dry)

Fill cocktail shaker with ice cubes. Measure in vermouth and gin. Stir vigorously. Strain into cocktail glasses, or over ice cubes in Old-Fashioned glasses. Garnish each drink with a rinsed olive; the brine from olives can spoil the martini.

Strictly speaking the olives should be the small Manzanilla ones with the stones removed, not stuffed ones.

Serves 2

The recommended accompaniment is Salted Almonds.
