The story of the Dry Martini
The 1st version of this cocktail dates from the beginning of the 20th century.
It was in 1904 that the English bartender Frank P. Newman came up with the recipe of the famous Dry Martini. This cocktail then became very popular during Prohibition in particular thanks to the growing reputation of gin during this period.
But it was in the 1960s that the Dry Martini gained new notoriety thanks to the famous James Bond who made this cocktail his favorite drink. The latter prefers it “shaken” rather than “stirred”.
Our advice for a perfect Dry Martini
Unlike James Bond, we advise you to prepare this cocktail with a mixing glass and not with a shaker in order to drink it as fresh and as dry as possible.
As said before, you can also adjust the proportions given in order to make a Dry Martini that perfectly meets your desires.
Finally, do not hesitate to add dune bitters (salt, Melifera, spices, lemon, seaweed, oyster shell) to your recipe to bring in that iodine touch specific to the flavors and universe of our Gin.
For this Melifera version, you can replace the olive with samphire pickles.
Alcohol abuse is detrimental to your health.
