Pro Tips

🧊 Stirred, Not Shaken

James Bond was wrong. Shaking bruises the gin and over-dilutes. Stirring creates silky texture and clarity. Save shaking for cocktails with juice.

📏 The Dry Spectrum

Wet: Equal parts gin and vermouth
Classic: 5:1 (this recipe)
Dry: Rinse glass with vermouth, discard
Extra Dry: Look at the vermouth bottle
