Preparation Time: 5 minutes
Serves: 1 serving
Glassware: Martini Glass
| Ingredients: |
| 50 ml (1 2/3 oz) Gin |
| 10 ml (1/3 oz) Dry Vermouth |
| 15 ml (1/2 oz) Olive Brine |
| 3 Whole Green Olives |
| Ice Cubes |
Directions:
- Slide through whole green olives in cocktail pick for garnishing
- Take all ingredients into a cocktail mixer and shake vigorously.
- Strain and pour prepared mixed drink in martini glass.
- Garnish with skewered green olives and serve.
Tips and Variations:
- If olive brine is not available, use strained fresh olive juice.
- You can also serve it on the rocks. Many drink lovers prefer to have martini on the rock as melting ice dilutes the strong taste of gin.
- If you like stirred martini, then do not add dry vermouth in shaker, instead pour it into serving glass and coat its surface by gently swirling the glass 2-3 times. Discard excess vermouth or use it to make another drink; strain the gin and olive brine mix into chilled serving glass.
Taste: Stronger taste of vodka mixed with dry vermouth with lots of heavenly flavor of olive brine.
