Cashew Free Classic Gin Martini
Few cocktails carry the same quiet confidence as a perfectly stirred martini. This version keeps things beautifully simple — London Dry gin, a whisper of dry vermouth, and nothing else standing between you and a genuinely elegant drink. The technique matters here: a long, patient stir over ice gets the liquid ice-cold and just slightly diluted, which is exactly what separates a great martini from a mediocre one. Straining it into a pre-chilled glass means the first sip is as crisp and clean as the last. Whether you finish it with a briny olive or a bright twist of lemon peel, the garnish adds that final aromatic flourish that makes the whole thing feel intentional. Tree nuts have absolutely no place in a classic cocktail like this, and every ingredient here is naturally free of them — no label-reading required, no substitutions needed. Mix one up before dinner and let it do exactly what a martini is supposed to do.
