Dry Martini
Synonymous with elegance and the golden age of cocktails, the Dry Martini was popularized in 20th-century cocktail culture and immortalized by James Bond’s “shaken, not stirred” line. It remains the quintessential spirit-forward drink on many classic menus.

Steps
Chill the martini glass in the freezer or by filling with ice and water.
Fill a mixing glass with ice and pour 60 ml gin and 5–10 ml dry vermouth (use less vermouth for drier).
Stir gently for about 25–30 seconds until very cold and slightly diluted.
Discard the ice/water from the chilled glass and strain the cocktail into it.
Express a lemon twist over the surface to release oils, or garnish with 1–2 olives on a pick.
Serve immediately — adjust vermouth next time to your preferred dryness.
