Gin Martini

Ingredients:

• 2 ½ oz of gin
• ½ oz of dry vermouth
• ice cubs

Directions:

Combine gin and vermouth in a shaker with plenty of ice and stir (don’t shake) for 30 seconds.  Strain into a chilled martini glass and garnish with olives or a lemon twist.  For a drier version, increase the ration to 4 or 5 parts gin to 1-part vermouth.  For a more classic version, use 2 parts gin to 1-part vermouth.
