June 19: National Dry Martini Day
Jun. 15, 2009 - by
That's right, June 19 is National Dry Martini Day. The traditional dry martini is made at a 4 to 1 ration, usually with 2 oz. of gin to 1/4 oz of dry vermouth and is made even drier by reducing the amount of vermouth. So whether you like them shaken or stirred, celebrate the day right with this easy mix.
Ingredients
2 1/2 oz. gin
1/2 oz. dry vermouth
1 green olive or lemon twist for garnish
Directions
Pour the ingredients into a mixing glass filled with ice cubes
Stir for 30 seconds.
Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
Garnish with the olive or lemon twist.
