Stirred NOT shaken.

You’ll need: 

60ml Shagwells gin
vermouth, to taste

A martini all about personal preference. The key elements to success are ensuring your vermouth is fresh and the garnish is appetising. Stir your required amount of Shagwells gin (here I’ve used 60ml) with however much dry vermouth you like: the more you use the more herbal it will be. Stir to taste – it’s about finding the perfect dilution. Don’t be afraid to garnish your masterpiece with something that might seem peculiar either – personally I take two pickled onions. Ensure your glass is frozen and the liquid smooth. James Bond, who?
