Drinks with dish + Liquorland: How to Make the Classic and Gibson Martini
According to Henry Louis Mencken, the martini is "as perfect as the sonnet" and we tend to agree. Our Editor, Sarah Tuck, demonstrates how to make the classic martini, and its San Franciscan cousin - the Gibson martini.
Half fill a stirring glass with ice then add 70ml of gin and 15ml dry vermouth.
Stir to chill then strain into a cold martini glass.
Garnish with 1 to 3 olives to serve.
To make a Gibson martini, swap out the olives for silverskin cocktail onions.
