How to Make the Classic Gin Martini

The Gin Martini is the definition of a classic cocktail. Clean, precise, and endlessly customisable, it has been a staple of cocktail culture for over a century.

With just gin and vermouth, every detail matters, from the ratio to the garnish. It is simple, but never basic.

The Gin Martini is king of all cocktails and very personal in the making. It can be a two or three ingredient cocktail. You decide with or without orange bitters.
