TIPS FROM MILLY

• THROW YOUR MARTINI GLASS AND BOTTLE OF GIN IN YOUR FREEZER THE NIGHT BEFORE!

• I only stir my martinis IF the gin is of high quality because you lose less of the botanical flavors and integrity of the gin, vs when you shake. (shaking=more dilution)

• A perfect martini is when it is ice cold without diluting the gin too much with ice. When I make them I sometimes do not even use ice if my gin is chilled along with my glass.

• The chilled glass and gin will allow less dilution to your martini while still being cold allowing for a more enjoyable cocktail.

• Keep your olives in the fridge so the olive brine (olive juice) you use in your martini is cold as well helping add to the chillness of the martini using less ice!
