It’s essential for every gentleman to know how to make a perfect dry martini.  You need: Gin (Bombay sapphire or Gordon’s) , dry white vermouth (Noilly prat), an olive, shaker, ice cubes and a martini glass1. Chill the martini glass in the fridge 2. Fill a shaker with ice cubes 3. Pour 2/3 parts gin and 1/3 part vermouth into the shaker 4. Stir thoroughly. Do NOT shake under any circumstances, this destroys the gin and you’ll end up with a watered down drink! 5. Take out the glass and strain the drink into the glass 6. Garnish with an olive 7. Put on some good music (like Sinatra) and enjoy!
