Important Tips
Ensure your martini glass is well chilled—this makes a significant difference in your drink's enjoyment. Prepare the garnishes before mixing to streamline the process. It'll create a beautifully presented cocktail ready for sipping!
The Art of Mixing
Begin by placing your martini glass into the freezer to chill thoroughly. While it chills, thread olives onto a cocktail pick and create a vibrant lemon twist for garnish. Keep a small bowl filled with ice close for the garnishes.
In a mixing glass brimming with ice, blend the bitters, vermouth, and gin. Stir vigorously, continually adding ice until it becomes perfectly chilled and diluted.
Next, strain your perfectly mixed concoction into the now-chilled martini glass. To enhance the flavor, express the lemon twist over the drink, releasing its aromatic oils. Finally, place your garnished lemon twist and olives on the sidecar filled with ice for an inviting touch. Serve this beauty promptly and enjoy!
