Ingredients
- 2 ounces London Dry gin
- 1 ounce vermouth
- 1 dash orange bitters
- 1 lemon twist for garnish
Instructions
- Add a few ice cubes to a mixing glass. Add the gin and dry vermouth.
- With a bar spoon, gently stir together until the mixture is chilled.
- Strain the drink into a martini glass.
- Add a dash or two of orange bitters and garnish with a lemon twist.
Notes
If you don't have a mixing glass, you can use a cocktail shaker or any type of glass.
If you want to make martinis for a crowd, you multiply the recipe to make a big batch and serve them from a large pitcher. You can also stash it in the fridge for yourself so you can have martinis ready to drink anytime.
To make a dirty martini, add a splash of olive brine instead of bitters and garnish with green olives.
