A dry martini is a classic cocktail that contains just two ingredients, dry vermouth and gin. This refreshing drink is simple to prepare and can be served in a variety or garnishes. This is one the most popular mixed drinks that have been around for decades.
Dry Martini Ingredients
Dry vermouth and gin are the main ingredients in a dry martini, but other flavors can be added to enhance its flavor. Try adding orange bitters to add a little zest. You can play around with the proportion of vermouth and gin in order to find the perfect balance.
Mixing your martini with either a shake or stir technique is an option. The choice is entirely up to you and your preference, but many experts recommend shaking or stirring because it creates a more visually appealing drink. If you prefer the traditional naked technique, simply pour the ingredients into an ice-filled glass.
A glass, a jigger cocktail, a lemon slice, and a barspoon are all you need. Pour the ice into the shaker and then add your gin or vodka. Then, add your vermouth and mix it together. Stirring until the liquid is completely chilled will be required before straining it into a cocktail cup.
The dry martini cocktail is delicious and can be made using any gin, vodka or other spirit. It is usually served as a summery drink. This cocktail is perfect for parties and after-work drinks because of its clean and crisp flavor.
Make a Classic Martini
The classic dry martini is easy to make, but can be customized according to your taste. Add a few drops to your favorite vermouth and adjust the gin until you find the perfect balance. This can be done in any proportion that you like, but the standard ratio is around 5 parts gin to 1 part vermouth.
Add some herbs or spices if you want a bit more flavor to your gin. You can also add some savory flavorings to your drink, such as a splash of olive brine or a dash of citrus juice.
What to Use as Garnish on a Dry Martini
The usual garnish for the classic dry martini cocktail is a twist of lemon or an olive. Other garnishes can be added to the drink, such as a cocktail cucumber or an onion.
When making a dry martini, it is important to use fresh ingredients to achieve the best results. Avoid frozen fruit or other bottled syrups as they can change the flavor of your drink.
Add a few drops of orange bitters for an extra flavor to your dry Martini. You can also garnish it with a lemon zest twist or a handful of olives.

How To
How to make an excellent martini
A martini is made from gin (or vodka), vermouth, and ice. Before mixing the ingredients, it is important to thoroughly combine them. The chilled glass is preferred. You should serve a proper martini straight up without adding anything. If you mix it, then you ruin the taste.
The most common way to serve a martini is with two olives on top. You can also add olive brine to the rim of your glass if you want to make your drink more flavorful.
You can use any type of alcohol, but it's best to use 100% grain alcohol like Vodka or Gin. This gives the cocktail a smoother texture. Although there are many vermouths on the market, we recommend one that does not contain any added sugar. Too much sugar makes cocktails too sweet.
To make a martini, add 2 ounces of dry vodka to a shaker. Add 1 ounce of vodka. Add 1 ounce vodka to the mixture and shake vigorously. Mix well in a chilled martini glass. Garnish with an olive.
To make a martini using a shaker, follow the same steps above. You don't need to shake the mixture much, just enough to combine the ingredients.
