Equipment
- A martini glass
- Japanese style mixing glass (or other glass container of at least 500 ml capacity)
- Bar Spoon
- Hawthorne strainer That's what a cocktail strainer is called. Don't use a fine mesh sieve.
Ingredients
- One jar of pimento-stuffed green olives
- 180 ml Tanqueray gin or your favorite gin. The only substitute my father accepts: Bombay Sapphire.
- 30 ml Noilly Prat extra dry vermouth or your favorite extra dry vermouth. My father does not accept any substitute for Noilly Prat.
- 1 ml of olive brine
Instructions
Mise en place
- Place all ingredients and equipment on the work surface.
- Fill the martini glass with ice cubes and water.
- Fill mixing glass three-quarters full of ice cubes.
Method
- Pour gin, vermouth and brine into the mixing glass.
- Stir with a bar spoon for about 10 seconds.
- Then, let stand for about 7 minutes. The idea is to let the ice melt and dilute the mixture.
- Discard the water and ice from the martini glass
- Pour from the mixing glass into the martini glass using the Hawthorne strainer or use the bar spoon to block the ice and pour very slowly. Don't use a fine mesh sieve.
Presentation
- The amount of liquid should almost fill the martini cup.
- Stick two stuffed olives on a cocktail stick and place in the bottom of the cocktail.
- (Optional) If the weather is warm, you can add a small ice cube to the cocktail.
Notes
If there is more than one glass to fill, use a larger glass container and multiply the recipe quantities.
