THE PERFECT MARTINI
Before you begin, you’ll need to set aside at least four solid days for this project. Mornings can be especially problematic.
Pour a few generous measures of gin from a 1.14 L bottle of Bombay Sapphire.
Top it up from a 1 L bottle of Martini & Rossi Extra Dry vermouth, shake well, and stick it in the freezer while you drink the gin.
Once you have finished the martini mixture, start on the leftover vermouth . . . over ice, if you still have any.
And for God’s sake, eat something! Anything. Although an olive or two is traditional.
