Pistachio Free Classic Gin Martini
Few cocktails carry the same quiet confidence as a properly made martini — cold, clean, and just a little dangerous. The key here is patience: a long, steady stir chills the gin and vermouth together while adding just enough dilution to round out the edges without watering things down. London Dry gin brings that classic botanical backbone, and a half ounce of dry vermouth keeps things crisp rather than boozy-flat. Chilling the glass first is a small step that makes a real difference, ensuring every sip stays ice-cold from the first to the last. Finish it with a briny olive or a twist of lemon peel — both are simple garnishes that genuinely change the character of the drink. The whole thing comes together with three ingredients and a little technique, which is exactly what makes it so satisfying to get right.
