Classic Cocktail #1: Is this the Martini?

Is this the Martini? And…. is this our friend?

By Senor Glambar

Perhaps the most controversial cocktail when discussing ingredients (don’t even try to call any drink in a martini glass a martini) is the martini. Several purists we consulted seemed to agree that this recipe is the classic. The dash of orange bitters gives the cocktail a deeper scent and complexity.

Martini

2 1/2 oz. dry gin (Plymouth is preferred)
1/2 oz. of dry vermouth (Noilly Prat is preferred)*
dash of orange bitters (optional)
olives or lemon peel for a garnish

Chill your martini glasses. Fill a tall mixing glass with ice. Add gin, vermouth, and bitters. Stir with a tall spoon for 30 seconds. Strain into your glass and garnish.

*Here is where personal preferences comes in. Use more or less vermouth for a wetter or dryer martini. You can simply swirl your chilled glass with vermouth for an extra-dry martini. Some consider a dry martini to have no vermouth at all.

Why stir instead of shake? Shaking is considered the method to use for cocktails with several ingredients, while stirring is a gentler method for cocktails that are mostly spirits, said to be effective because it will not “bruise” the spirits.
