Tree Nut Free Classic Gin Martini
Few cocktails carry the same quiet confidence as a perfectly made martini. This version keeps things beautifully simple — London Dry gin, a measured pour of dry vermouth, and a long, patient stir over ice until everything is bracingly cold and just slightly diluted. The result is clean, crisp, and elegant in a way that no shaken shortcut can replicate. Cocktails are one category where tree nut concerns rarely come up, and this recipe keeps the ingredient list so stripped back that there's genuinely nothing to second-guess. Your only real decision is the garnish: a briny olive on a pick or a twist of lemon peel expressed over the surface for a bright, citrusy finish. Either way, the drink is a masterclass in restraint — proof that the best things often need the fewest ingredients.
