■1/4 oz. Dry Vermouth
■2 Olives
Fill half a cocktail shaker with ice and shake or stir the Gin (or Vodka) and the Vermouth according to the wishes of the well-dressed secret agent who wants it. Strain into a chilled Martini glass and garnish with the Olives skewered on a Martini pick.
Wet : Add more Vermouth
Dry : Add less Vermouth
Dirty : Swirl some of the brine from the olive jar into the Martini glass, then pour out before pouring the drink itself.
Burnt : Swirl a wee bit ‘o Scotch into the Martini glass before pouring the drink itself.
Gibson : Garnish Martini with a pearl onion instead of olives.
