In all cases, stir gin with ice in a chilled glass or pitcher for 45 seconds to a minute.

Don't shake despite what Bond always ordered.

Pour a bit of Vermouth in a chilled glass, swirl is around coating the glass then pour it out.
Strain the gin into the glass and add a twist or olive. Use Turkish olives if you dare.


Seriously, if you don't care for gin, try a Hendricks, Botanist or other non London Dry Gin martini. There's a huge difference in gins and the cheap stuff is awful unless you're making Salty Dogs or something.
