Dry Gin Martini Recipe:
2.5oz London Dry Gin
.5oz Dry Vermouth

2) Add the dry vermouth and London dry gin to your mixing glass.
3) Add ice and give it a stir with your bar spoon for 25-30 seconds.
4) Garnish with a lemon twist and serve immediately.

[@jJoshuj]

thanks for rubbing your hand on the ice

[@Ackytubby]

Didn’t strain the vermouth with ice. Just dumped everything in. Why?

[@jeffhreid]

A perfect martini is sweet and dry vermouth. Any bartender knows what “perfect” means. Strange they used thanksgiving term for this video

[@gregjohnson720]

My only comment would be to always give measures in US and international measures. Example ounce to mls. Think outside of the North American box (although in North America the Canadians and Mexicans know how many millilters are in an ounce).

How pretentious.

[@rventura101699rv]

made like a true bartender. nothing pretentious about that.

[@jeffhildreth9244]

@@rventura101699rv What is pretentious is calling that a "perfect" and "dry" Martini. It is neither.

[@jeffhildreth9244]

Good Gin, mediocre Vermouth.

Over-stirred
