Use the best possible gin you can afford. The quality of the gin significantly impacts the final taste of the martini. Adjust the ratio of vermouth to gin according to your personal preference. Some prefer a drier martini with less vermouth. Chilling the glasses is crucial for maintaining the martini's temperature and enhancing the drinking experience. Stirring is preferred over shaking to avoid excessive dilution and cloudiness. Experiment with different garnishes to find your favorite. Consider lemon twists, cocktail onions, or even a sprig of rosemary.
