Cocktails with Gin


THE VERY VERSATILE MARTINI
2 ounces of London dry gin
1 ounce of French vermouth
garnish with olive

Adding a bit of the liquid in the olive jar makes it a "dirty martini". Use an onion instead of an olive and it becomes a "gibson". For different martini flavors, garnish with a slice or twist of orange or a cherry. Use vodka instead of gin and you have a vodkatini.
