Vegetarian Classic Gin Martini
Few cocktails carry the same quiet confidence as a properly made martini. The ratio here — a generous pour of London Dry gin balanced by just a touch of dry vermouth — delivers that signature crisp, botanical bite with a silky finish that no shortcut can replicate. Stirring rather than shaking is the move, and those 30 to 40 seconds of patient stirring are what give the drink its perfectly chilled, ever-so-slightly diluted texture. The garnish choice is yours: a briny olive if you want something savory and classic, or a twist of lemon peel if you prefer a bright, citrusy lift. Every ingredient in this recipe is naturally plant-based, so there's nothing to second-guess — just clean, elegant simplicity in a glass. Whether you're hosting a dinner party or treating yourself to a proper Friday evening, this is the kind of drink that makes the moment feel a little more intentional.
