Notes
Pro Tips
-
- Use a high-quality gin to highlight the cocktail’s botanical nuances. A London Dry style works best for a crisp and balanced finish.
-
- Adjust the dryness by varying the vermouth ratio—use a little less for a stronger gin presence or slightly more for a softer, herbal touch.
-
- Chill the martini glass beforehand to keep the drink colder for longer.
-
- For a Rat Pack-worthy experience, serve it extra dry with just a rinse of vermouth before adding the gin.
