We like our martinis made the traditional way -- with (relatively) lots of vermouth and a dash or two of orange bitters. No olives for us, but if you like them, by all means drop one in.
Yield: 2 servings
Ingredients:
- 3 ounces dry gin
- 1 ounce dry vermouth
- 2-4 dashes orange bitters
- 2 strips of lemon peel
Preparation:
1. Place gin, vermouth and bitters in a mixing glass or cocktail shaker filled with ice. Stir for 20-30 seconds or until the outside of the glass or shaker is ice cold.
2. Strain into two small chilled cocktail glasses. Twist a piece of lemon peel over each drink and drop in.
