Ingredients
- 1 part dry vermouth
- 4 parts gin or vodka
- lemon peel cut into strip
- a pinch of salt (optional)
Instructions
- In a glass add ice as well as your gin/vodka, vermouth and salt (I find this gives your martini a more rounded flavour but its entirely optional).
- Stir for about 20 to 30 seconds to thoroughly chill the mixture.
- Get your martini glass ready by rubbing some lemon peel around the rim of the glass.
- Strain the mixture into the glass and finish with your twirled lemon peel as garnish.
- Enjoy!
