Chicken Free Classic Gin Martini
Few cocktails carry the same quiet confidence as a properly made martini. This version leans on London Dry gin and a measured pour of dry vermouth, stirred long enough to get genuinely cold and just slightly diluted — the way it should be. Chilling the glass first is a small step that makes a real difference, keeping every sip bracingly cold from the first to the last. The garnish choice is yours: a briny olive for something savory and classic, or a twist of lemon peel if you want a bright, citrusy finish. There's no meat, no broth, no hidden animal proteins — just botanicals, vermouth, and ice doing exactly what they're supposed to do. It's the kind of drink that rewards a little patience and a good pour.
