This is the martini that started it all!
I love my Martini and a true dry martini is usually made with gin and garnished with a spear of olives. Variations of the clasic dry martini include garnishing with a lemon twist, cockatil onions (called a gibson) or substituting vodka for the gin.

Dry Martini

• 2 ounces gin
• dash dry vermouth
• olives, lemon peel or cocktail onions for garnish

Fill a shaker cup with ice. add the vermouth and stir. add gin and stir again. strain into martini glass and garnish.

Note: for a very dry martini drain vermouth from shaker glass before adding gin.
