Pour the gin and vermouth into a vessel filled with ice.
Carry on a conversation for 90 seconds.
Swirl the martini a few times to make sure it’s icy cold and diluted with exactly the right amount of melted ice.
Strain into a chilled glass and garnish with a twist.
(Optional) Kiss your partner and say, “What a day.” No matter what kind of day yours happens to be, it is a day and you are here to enjoy it with a perfect martini.
