Gin martinis are best served cold
The key to making the very best gin martini is to serve it very cold! There are a few things I do to accomplish this. It starts with storing my gin and dry vermouth in the freezer. They won’t freeze, and will be perfectly chilled for your martini.
Chilling a martini glass quickly
I fill my martini glass with ice and cold water and let it sit for a minute while you gather ingredients. Simply toss out the ice and water before straining martini ingredients into the glass.
Gin martini garnishes
Gin martini recipes are usually garnished with green olive or a lemon twist.
- Olive: Tradition calls an add number of olives placed on a stick or skewer, usually one or three.
- Lemon peel: A curl of a lemon peel is run around the rim of the glass, then squeezed it into the cocktail.
Tips and tricks for the best gin martinis
- Don’t use crushed ice. Crushed ice will melt faster and dilute your cocktail.
- Stir don’t shake. Cocktails that are spirit-forward or made with only liquor are stirred, while drinks that contain more mixers or are more complex are commonly shaken to better combine the ingredients.
- Use a top-shelf gin and vermouth: With only two ingredients, this is not a cocktail where you want to be frugal.
- Change the ratio: Each gin is different–adjust the garnish when switching gin brands.
- Vermouth expiration dates: Vermouth is a fortified wine with a short shelf life. Don’t use expired vermouth.
- Olives: Skewer 1 or 3 olives on a cocktail pick or drop them in the glass.
- Chill the glass and all of your ingredients!
