THE PERFECT MARTINI

The Perfect Martini image

A martini is a serious cocktail, here is my favorite way to make it! With gin, obviously, and a twist of lemon.

Provided by Meghan McMorrow | Fox and Briar

Time 3m

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

3 ounces gin (I prefer Hendricks)
1/4 ounce dry vermouth
strip of lemon zest
Ice

Steps:

In a pint glass or cocktail shaker, add ice, gin and vermouth. Allow them to sit, without shaking or stirring, for 2-3 minutes. You can swirl it a few times if you want.
If you are zesting the lemon, do it right over the martini glass.
Strain the martini into a chilled martini glass, give the lemon zest a twist over the glass and add it to the drink.
Serve right away to your adoring fans.
