A Classic Martini

Schott Zwiesel Comete Martini Glass

This glass from Schott Zwiesel's Comete collection is one of the most elegant martini glasses we carry.  Delicate symmetrical etching in the glass adds a traditional, formal touch. This whole collection is lovely. I'm partial to the whiskey glasses as well.

Here's the recipe I used, which I liked very well indeed:

  • 2 1/2 ounces gin (I used Beefeater 24)

  • 1/2 ounce dry vermouth

  • olives and lemon twist

  • dash Angostura bitters (optional)

This martini skewer is stainless steel with a simple, rustic hand-hammered end, a great Etsy find.

Salud!
