Ingredients

  • 10 ml dry vermouth

Preparation

  1. Stir with ice until very cold.
  2. Strain into a chilled coupe or martini glass.
  3. Lemon twist or olive — choose one.
Glass
Coupe or martini glass
Garnish
Lemon twist or olive
Origin
A late-19th-century cocktail family. Vodka variations exist; this record is the gin version.
Alcohol
Not calculated. Drier ratios are stronger in practice because there is less vermouth.
