Perfect Martini

martini · gin · vodka

Faintly gold instead of clear, and rounder than the version people order to seem serious. The even split of sweet and dry vermouth is what earns the adjective — it's a ratio, not a review. Cut both back to a capful when you want the gin doing the talking, which is most nights.

Ingredients

  • 2½ ozGin (or Vodka)
  • ½ ozsweet vermouth
  • ½ ozdry vermouth

Garnish

2 blue cheese stuffed green olives

Method

Add all of the ingredients into a shaker with ice and shake. Garnish with stuffed olives. May want to back off on the vermouth (only a cap full of each for more gin flavor).
