Important Notes

⚠️

Always use a well-chilled martini glass for the best drinking experience. You can fill it with ice while you mix the drink.

⚠️

Stirring, not shaking, is key for a classic martini. It chills and dilutes the drink perfectly without making it cloudy or adding ice shards.

⚠️

The perfect chill and dilution are achieved when the outside of the mixing glass becomes frosty, typically after about 30 seconds of stirring.
