Dry Martini

The Dry Martini refers to the emblematic aperitif cocktail of gin and dry vermouth, stirred with ice and served straight up in a cocktail glass, garnished with an olive or a lemon twist. Its official recipe belongs to the International Bartenders Association repertoire. The proportion of vermouth, more or less generous, defines its character: the less vermouth used, the drier the Martini is considered to be.
