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 favourite, or you can just use our faves. Be sure to use a fresh bottle of vermouth and keep any leftovers in your fridge
Our version of a dry martini is to have a light touch with the vermouth because this really ties the complex botanicals of that gin together and Bitter Orange Syrup lets you experience the gin in a new way.
