Good Gin,
Dry and Sweet Vermouth, (or one or the other)
Olives
Put your gin in the freezer and keep your vermouth and olives cold
Fill your glass with gin (vodka can be used, but then it is called a vodka martini)
put a little splash of vermouth, very little.
I pour the vermouth into the cap and don't even fill it, it is very potent stuff.
Drop in your olives and your good to go.
For a dirty martini, add a little olive juice, very tastey. Happy Drinking

Glass: Martini or rocks.
2 ounces of gin
1/4 ounce dry vermouth
Mixing Method: Shake and strain or stir and strain depending on what the guest wants.
Garnish: Lemon peel or green olive.
Note: If you’d like to try the original Martini, then add a dash of orange bitters.
When a guest orders a Dry Martini it means that you only use a couple of drops of dry vermouth. When they order it very dry or extra dry it means that you don’t use any vermouth at all. An in & out or upside down Martini is when you swirl a few drops of dry vermouth to coat the inside of the glass and then pour it out. A Perfect Martini (or perfect anything for that matter) means to use half dry vermouth and half sweet vermouth. A Dirty Martini means that you add olive juice. And a Martini garnished with cocktail onions is called a Gibson. Martinis can also be requested on the rocks.

This is my method for a very dry Martini.
Premium gin.
Dry Vermouth.
Take a Martini glass and swirl some ice cubes to chill.
Put the Vermouth in the glass and swirl to coat the sides, dump the vermouth.
Put the gin in a cocktail shaker with a couple of ice cubes. Stir a couple of times.
Strain the gin into the glass, add an olive.
Reminds me of an old joke.
This guy walks up to a bar and tells the bartender " I want a very dry Martini, here is how to make it".
He then says "put some gin in a glass and whisper over the top of the glass, vermouth"
Well the bartender puts the gin in the glass and picks it up and says "VERMOUTH".
The guy screams "LOUD MOUTH".

Really good martinis (if you like them served "up")
Grey Goose (two parts),
a splash of dry vermouth,
splash of olive juice,
shake it till you can't hold the shaker anymore, pour over olives in martini glass.
