Ingredients

  • 1 cup crushed ice, plus extra for chilling glass
  • 1/2-ounce dry vermouth
  • 2 1/2 ounces gin
  • 1 olive

Directions

Place some crushed ice into the martini glass you will be serving in, and set aside.

Place the 1 cup of crushed ice into a cocktail shaker. Pour in the vermouth and swirl it around, making as much contact as possible with the ice. Using a strainer, pour the vermouth out. Add the gin and stir well to combine.

Remove the ice from your serving glass and add the olive. Using the strainer, pour the gin into the serving glass.

    The best

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    Try using Plymouth Gin in this classic. And the olive in the bottom of the glass is key, along with using crushed ice. ... Cheers...Read more

    Really is the best martini

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I've been making Martini's exactly this way for 25 years. My dad taught me. Perhaps AB should remove his initials. It's... really just a variation on a classic.Read more

    Excellent

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    What made this simple recipe so great were the additional hints given on the actual show, e.g. shaken vs. stirred, and why to... add the olive first. It would be great if some of these extras were included with the online recipe.Read more

    Just as good as the best Martini I ever had - the Fountain at the Four Seasons in Philadelphia.
