Ingredients for a Dry Martini (5 to 1 ratio)
- 75ml Aval Dor Cornish Vodka
- 15ml Knightor Dry Vermouth
- Ice
- Lemon peel for garnish or a gordal olive!
Instructions
- Chill your glass: Place a martini glass in the freezer to chill while you prepare the cocktail.
- Combine ingredients: Fill a mixing glass with ice cubes. Pour in the gin (or vodka) and dry vermouth. Some traditionalists will add the vermouth first, stir it to coat the ice, then pour it out before adding the spirit.
- Stir until cold: Stir the ingredients briskly for about 30 seconds, or until the mixture is very cold. Stirring is preferred over shaking for a clear, smooth drink.
- Strain and serve: Strain the liquid into your chilled martini glass.
- Garnish: For a lemon twist, pare a piece of peel, hold it over the glass, and pinch to express the oils onto the drink. You can then rub the rim with the peel before dropping it in. Alternatively, garnish with one or more olives.
