Classic Martini
1/2 oz. extra dry vermouth
2 oz. Gin
1 or 2 olives
In a shaker filled with crushed ice, add the vermouth, then the gin. Swish and swirl the shaker until mixture is as cold as possible. (about 1 minute). let set for at least 30 seconds. Ad an olive or two in the martini glass. (pre-chill glass if desired) Give the shaker final round of swish and swirl, then pour into the martini glass, over the olives. Shake the last bit so little shards of ice fall out of the shaker.
Tip: it's best to swish and swirl to a bossa-nova beat
