Dry Martini

The Dry Martini isn’t just a cocktail—it’s a statement. Sleek, sophisticated, and effortlessly cool, this timeless classic dates back to the late 19th century. Made with gin (or vodka, if you must) and a whisper of dry vermouth, it’s all about balance and simplicity. Served ice-cold with either a lemon twist or an olive, the Dry Martini is the drink of choice for spies, silver-screen legends, and anyone who appreciates the power of understatement. Stirred or shaken? That’s up to you.
