Peanut Free Classic Gin Martini
Few cocktails carry the same effortless sophistication as a properly made martini, and this version delivers exactly that — bracingly cold, clean, and just slightly silky from the stir. London Dry gin brings its classic botanical backbone, while a half ounce of dry vermouth adds a whisper of herbal dryness without overwhelming the spirit. The technique here matters: a long, patient stir over ice chills the drink thoroughly while introducing just enough dilution to round out the edges. Straining into a pre-chilled glass keeps every sip ice-cold from first to last. A cocktail olive adds a briny, savory finish, while a twist of lemon peel offers a bright, citrusy alternative — both are classic for a reason. With only three core ingredients and no syrups, liqueurs, or flavored mixers in the mix, there's nothing here to raise a red flag for anyone avoiding peanuts or peanut-derived additives. Simple, elegant, and endlessly satisfying.
