Notes

Tips:

You don’t want to shake this drink. You can mix the drink inside your shaker for convenience, but you don’t want to shake it. This is the kind of drink you’ll want to stir.

You can add an ounce of olive juice to make it a dirty martini.

To keep your drink colder, longer, chill the glasses for about 30 minutes before use. Remember, this is served without ice, but is stirred with ice beforehand. This means the drink will be cold when poured, but won’t stay that way.

Use quality products to get the best martini you’ve ever had.
