Dry Martini cocktail

Dry Martini Cocktail Recipe

The Dry Martini is a timeless symbol of elegance and simplicity in cocktail culture, made primarily with gin or vodka and a small amount of dry vermouth. Its clean, crisp profile highlights the botanical complexity of the gin, often accentuated with a lemon twist or olive garnish. Evolving over the 20th century to become increasingly "dry" (less vermouth), the Dry Martini remains a benchmark of refined taste and minimalist sophistication.
