According to many cocktail purists the classic dry martini is made with gin, dry vermouth, and orange bitters. The "dry" referring to the type of vermouth, and not how little vermouth one uses. I prefer mine with a lemon twist. You'll be impressed with how much flavor one lemon twist or peel will add to your martini. I agree that the martini is best stirred, a lot, until exceedingly cold.
DRY MARTINI
Ingredients:
2 oz. gin
1/2 oz. dry vermouth
Dash orange bitters
Tools:
Mixing glass
Bar spoon
Srainer
Method:
Stir (+/- 40 turns) with ice until ice cold and well diluted. You can pause and let it sit for a moment after some initial stirring, perhaps while preparing your glass or a garnish, as this will help make your drink even colder and smoother, then finish stirring. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with lemon twist or lemon peel.
