How to Make The Perfect Martini

Prep time: 3 minutes

Serves: 1

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 oz Premium Gin (Soft or Floral notes)
• 1/2 oz Dry Vermouth
• 1/4 oz Blanc Vermouth
• 2 dashes Orange Bitters
• Garnish: Lemon twist or one Castelvetrano olive
• Ice: Large, dense ice cubes

Instructions

• Chill: Place a martini glass in the freezer for at least 10 minutes before you begin.
• Combine: In a mixing glass filled with ice, add the gin, dry vermouth, blanc vermouth, and orange bitters.
• Stir: Use a bar spoon to stir gently for 30 seconds. This ensures the drink is ice-cold and maintains a silky, heavy body without air bubbles.
• Strain: Double-strain the mixture into your chilled glass.
• Garnish: Express the lemon twist over the surface to release the oils and drop it in, or add the olive for a buttery finish.
