WHAT
Bombay Sapphire Classic Martini Cocktail
Once deemed “the only American invention as perfect as the sonnet” by the twentieth century scholar H. L. Mencken, the classic Martini recipe sips even smoother with a touch of vermouth and a generous pour of Bombay Sapphire.
HOW
Ingredients:
- 2 oz. Bombay Sapphire
- 1.5 oz. Martini & Rossi Extra Dry Vermouth
- Olives

THEN
Fill half of a shaker with ice. Coat the inside of the shaker with vermouth, discard the ice and vermouth, and refill with new ice. Pour in Bombay Sapphire holding the base of the glass shaker. Stir—never shake—until ice cold and pour into a chilled martini glass.
