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.
