Total Time:
Ingredients
- 3 ounces gin (Beefeater, Tanqueray, or Bombay Sapphire—something around 94 proof)
- 1/2 ounce Noilly Prat dry white vermouth
- ice
Directions
- Chill a martini glass in the freezer for at least 5 minutes.
- Pour the gin and vermouth into a stainless-steel cocktail shaker or a chilled tumbler.
- Place 8 to 10 ice cubes in the shaker or tumbler, stir vigorously for about 20 seconds with a long-handled spoon, and strain into the chilled martini glass.
- How you finish off the martini is a matter of taste. A twist is the classiest way to go and yields the cleanest-tasting drink. An olive is the traditional garnish, and it looks cool. Take your pick.

FRESH PICK
Cranberries
High in vitamin C, these hard, tart berries are grown in bogs in colder regions of North America and Europe. They’re almost
always eaten cooked, as in the classic Thanksgiving relish.
