My Best Martini

   Chill a Martini glass.

2. 2

   Fill a cocktail shaker 1/2 to 2/3 full with ice cubes.

3. 3

   Add the Vermouth and shake until the liquid is chilled and then strain (but do not shake out all of the liquid) leaving the ice cubes and inside of the shaker coated with the remaining Vermouth.

4. 4

   Add the Gin or Vodka and shake until the mixture is chilled (if you are using a metal shaker you will feel the chill on the outside).

5. 5

   Strain immediately into the chilled Martini glass and add several olives/onions on a cocktail skewer.

6. 6

   Serve immediately.
