For a drier martini, reduce the amount of vermouth to ¼ ounce. Experiment with different gins to find your preferred flavor profile. London Dry gins provide a classic taste, while more floral gins can add complexity. High-quality ingredients are key to a superior martini. Don't skimp on the gin or vermouth. Consider expressing a lemon peel over the martini for an extra layer of citrus aroma. Discard the peel after expressing.
