My Martini
Ingredients:
Good quality gin
2-3 dashes of Martini Extra Dry Vermouth
Twist of lemon / olive
Method:
1. Place a bottle of good quality gin in the freezer.
2. Coat inside of a cocktail glass with still water, discharge the excess and place in the freezer for 24 hours. Remove.
3. Pour the good quality gin (according to your preference) directly into the glass. This will give the drink dilution.
4. Lay 2-3 dashes of Martini Extra Dry Vermouth on top for aroma and taste, this ensures the martini is super cold and super dry.
5. Add a twist of lemon on top (make sure that there is no pulp), extracting the oil straight from the lemon.
6. Coat lemon twist around the edge of the glass, and then place into glass for garnish, or an olive if preferred.
