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

Categories     Beverages     Cocktail

Time 3m

Number Of Ingredients 4

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.

30 BEST CLASSIC AND MODERN MARTINI RECIPES - THE SPRUCE …
30-best-classic-and-modern-martini-recipes-the-spruce image

From thespruceeats.com
  • Dry Gin Martini Recipe. There's no better way to kick off a martini recipe collection than with the martini. Made of gin and dry vermouth with an optional dash of bitters, the gin martini has an iconic taste marked with a dry botanical flavor profile.
  • Martinez Recipe. According to cocktail history, the Martinez was most likely created before the martini. First printed in the 1887 edition of "The Bon Vivant's Companion: Or How to Mix Drinks" by "Professor" Jerry Thomas, this is a very old drink recipe.
  • Manhattan Recipe. Whiskey's answer to the martini, the Manhattan is equally simple, satisfying, and versatile (with nearly as many variations created over the years).
  • Vodka Martini Recipe. Clean and crisp, the vodka martini is a 20th-century classic. Originally, it went by "kangaroo," but that name didn't last long. It's really nothing more than a martini that replaces the gin with vodka, though it's less aromatic, and that appeals to many drinkers.
  • Perfect Martini Recipe. There's a special vocabulary in the martini world: Ironically, "dry" means less dry vermouth, and "perfect" means the drink includes equal parts of dry and sweet vermouth.
  • Affinity Cocktail Recipe. The affinity cocktail is one of several classic recipes that use the double vermouth pairing without the "perfect" moniker. In the Manhattan family, it specifically calls for Scotch whisky and orange bitters.
  • Dirty Martini Recipe. When you hear someone talk about a "dirty" martini, it's time to break out the olives. Featuring dry vermouth, you can make it with gin or vodka, and it even works with tequila.
  • Jean Harlow Cocktail Recipe. Rum has a place in the martini world, too! The Jean Harlow cocktail is, essentially, a rum Manhattan. It follows the "keep-it-simple" theory common in classic drinks by combining rum and sweet vermouth.
  • Tequini Recipe. The variety in tequila styles ensures that there's a martini for everyone's taste. On the drier side, the tequini uses dry vermouth, and an unaged blanco tequila is preferred.
  • Chrysanthemum Recipe. In the classic cocktail scene, brandy was king. It's lost some of its appeal among modern drinkers, though the old-fashioned cocktails continue to impress.
