Classic Dry Martini
The classic martini cocktail starts with gin and dry vermouth. Stir the cocktail with ice until well chilled—the outside of the glass should get cold, too. You can use a wide range of gins and vermouths here; keep tasting until you find your favorite. Be sure to use a fresh bottle of vermouth and keep any leftovers in your fridge.Â
