Oral Allergy Syndrome Friendly Classic Gin Martini

Few drinks are as timelessly elegant as a properly made martini, and this one delivers that cool, sophisticated experience without a single ingredient that tends to trigger oral allergy symptoms. Many cocktails rely on fresh fruit juices, muddled herbs, or botanical-heavy syrups that can be problematic for people who react to raw plant proteins — this recipe sidesteps all of that with just gin, dry vermouth, and ice. The result is bracingly cold, silky, and just slightly diluted in the best possible way. Stirring rather than shaking is the move here, giving you that smooth, crystal-clear finish that a good martini deserves. A cocktail olive adds a briny, savory note, while a twist of lemon peel offers a bright citrus aroma without any juice making it into the glass. It's the kind of drink that feels like a special occasion even on a Tuesday night, and the technique is genuinely simple once you've done it once.
