I have published a treatise on the Dry Martini before. Please refer back to that for any details. The version posted here uses the gin from the Edge Distillery, of which I am a part-owner. Our gin uses wolfberries (goji berries) as its signature flavouring. This produces a slightly sweet gin. To make a Martini from this, one needs to add a little extra citrus via the Vermouth. Noilly Prat is the perfect pairing.

- 75ml Edge London dry gin
- 12ml Noilly Prat vermouth
Instructions
Fill a Martini glass and a mixing glass with ice. Leave the glassware to chill for a moment while you regale your guests with the history of the Martini.
Tip the ice out of the mixing glass. Add the cocktail ingredients, and then refill the glass with fresh ice.
Stir the cocktail in the ice as noiselessly as possible. Stir for just less than 10 seconds to chill the drink and control the dilution. Try not to introduce any air.
Tip the ice out off the Martini glass, and strain the drink into it. Take a piece of lemon peel, and twist it over the glass. Wipe the rim with the skin side and drop into the glass.
