For anyone managing oral allergy syndrome, cocktail hour can actually be one of the easier parts of the day to navigate โ and this classic dry martini is proof. There are no raw fruits, vegetables, tree nuts, or botanicals hiding in the glass, just clean vodka, a splash of dry vermouth, and a garnish you can tailor to your comfort level. If lemon peel is a trigger, simply swap it for a couple of briny cocktail olives and you're set. The technique here is all about the stir โ a slow, steady 30 to 40 rotations chills the drink without over-diluting it, giving you that silky, ice-cold texture that makes a martini feel genuinely special. Chilling your glass in the freezer beforehand is a small step that makes a noticeable difference in how long the drink stays perfectly cold. It's elegant, it's simple, and it's the kind of cocktail that feels like a real treat without any of the second-guessing that can come with more ingredient-heavy drinks.
