A classic dry gin martini is iconic and may be the most popular cocktail in the world. While many “martinis” have been created there is only one true martini and few drinks can beat this simple recipe. You only need a few key ingredients and 30 seconds to stir one up (no shaking!). The botanical flavor bouquet has a dry profile that you can customize to your taste.

3 Classic Ways to Make a Martini

There’s no mystery to the martini—all you need to make one is your best gin and dry vermouth. There are countless ways to tweak the formula and technique: Gin or vodka dry or wet dirty or clean shaken or stirred olive or lemon garnish. All of these options have fueled a debate over the “right” way to make a martini. While it’s an endless debate the only right answer is how you enjoy it. After all you’re the one drinking it.
With all the different variations of the martini it’s fascinating to see how others like to mix it up. The Spruce Eats conducted an informal poll over the course of nine years to see how drinkers take their martinis and the results are pretty interesting. Of the 90000 people who responded more than half (59 percent) preferred gin over vodka. The vast majority of those drinkers enjoy a full dose of vermouth with only 13 percent preferring little to no vermouth.
