Garden Martini

Step-by-Step

1. Chill your martini or coupe glass – place it in the freezer or fill with ice water while you prep the drink.
2. Add the gin and vermouth to a mixing glass – include bitters or brine if using.
3. Fill with ice and stir – for 20–30 seconds until well chilled and slightly diluted.
4. Strain into your chilled glass – for a clean, clear finish.
5. Garnish – add a cucumber ribbon, float a basil leaf, or rest a sprig of thyme on the rim for a botanical aroma.
