Stile Brands...the love of a classic Martini..!

The classic Martini is one of the drinks that every bartender should know. There are many ways to make a Martini: gin or vodka little or no vermouth, stirred or shaken and an olive or lemon twist garnish. One drink, so many options.

Many other drinks are referred to as a Martini. Although this recipe is the original, we must go along with society in some respects and here is one more of those Martini recipes.

Prep Time: 3 minutes

Total Time: 3 minutes

Yield: 1 Cocktail

Ingredients:

• 2 1/2 oz  gin

• 1/2 oz dry vermouth

• 1 green olive or lemon twist for garnish

• Orange or Angostura bitters(optional)

Preparation:

1. Pour the ingredients into a mixing glass filled with ice cubes.

2. Stir for 30 seconds.

3. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.

4. Add a dash of orange or Angostura bitters if desired

5. Garnish with the olive or lemon twist.

There are many variations on the classic martini that are a personal preference:

• Dry Martini- Traditionally uses more dry vermouth, however recent trends define a Dry Martini as using little or no vermouth.

• Bone Dry or Desert Martini- No vermouth.

• Gibson - Garnish with a cocktail onion.
