Martini
Olives tend to go well in a dryer martini (less vermouth or a bolder/more juniper heavy gin), while a lemon twist is best if the martini is sweeter (either more vermouth or a more mild/sweet gin).
- 2½ oz gin
- ¾ oz dry vermouth
- 2 dashes orange bitters
- garnish: lemon twist or green olives
Add to cocktail shaker with plenty of ice. Stir for at least 30 seconds, then strain into a martini glass or Nick and Nora.
Garnish with a lemon twist or a couple green olives.
