The Perfect Martini

I had damn near forgotten how amazingly good a martini can be. But I just had a Perfect Martini, so I remembered. I thought I'd share.

Perfect Martini

Of course, as with any standard martini recipe, you can subsitute vodka for gin and stirring for shaking (forget what Bond, Jame Bond has to say about it--a gin martini should be stirred), but I much prefer gin martinis.

Combine in a mixing glass filled with ice:
2 oz. gin
1/4 oz. sweet vermouth
1/4 oz. dry vermouth

Stir

Pour over a cocktail glass garnished with a cocktail olive (or, if you're like me, 3 cocktail olives).
