STIR your first drink

GIN MARTINI
Also known as just a plain martini, there's nothing at all plain about this drink. Like no other, this strong and sour drink epitomizes the cocktail.
This classic martini is made with gin, preferably the best quality you have, and nice, dry vermouth.
Fill up your mixing glass with ice. Pour in 0.5oz dry vermouth and 3oz gin.
Slide your barspoon down the inside of the wall of the glass.
Rotate the barspoon at least six times.
Strain the liquid – no ice – into the martini glass.
Garnish with speared olives.
