Martinis are a Girls Best Friend

Diamonds are a girls best friend? I think not... just give me vodka or gin :)

James Bond might like them shaken not stirred, but us ladies like 'em anyway. I'm not particularly interested in "girlying-up" my drinks, so here's a few of my favs:

Original Martini

• 1 1/2 ounce gin
• 1 1/2 ounce dry vermouth
• Dash of orange bitter
• Lemon twist as garnish

Classic Martini

• 2-ounce gin
• 1/2 ounce dry vermouth
• Lemon twist or green olive as garnish

Dry Martini

• 2-ounce gin
• 1/4 ounce dry vermouth
• Lemon twist as garnish

Extra Dry Martini

• 2-ounce gin
• 1/2 teaspoon dry vermouth
• Lemon twist as garnish
