- 2 ounces gin
- ½ ounce dry vermouth
- 1 dash orange bitters

Notes
The less vermouth used in the cocktail, the drier it is. In general, this is just called a dry martini and usually uses a distribution of 4:1 gin to vermouth.
Very dry martini / bone-dry martini: There is not much vermouth here at all. A touch of vermouth is lightly sloshed around the glass instead of actually getting mixed in.
Desert martini: Winston Churchill’s favorite martini is made without any vermouth.
