Cocktail - The Classic Martini (Vic's Way)

Plymouth gin, ice-cold, served straight up with three olives—and just a nod to France

Finalized after a spirited back-and-forth with ChatGPT.

2½ oz Plymouth Gin
A whisper of Noilly Prat dry vermouth (rinse the glass, or wave the bottle in the direction of the shaker)
Ice
3 green olives (Castelvetrano or classic pimento-stuffed)

Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add the Plymouth gin. Rinse a chilled martini glass with Noilly Prat, then discard the excess (or, if you’re Churchill, merely glance toward France).

Shake the gin vigorously until the shaker is so cold it stings your fingers.

Strain into the prepared glass. Garnish with three olives.
