This simple cocktail is made up of gin as a base with a splash of dry vermouth to add a little tartness to the drink. Make sure to serve this drink cold and you can make up your own mind on the shaken vs. stirred debate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The origin of dry martinis is up for debate as some say it was concocted by Julio Richelieu in San Francisco in 1906, while others believe it was at the Knickerbocker Hotel in New York in 1911 by bartender Martini di Taggia. Whatever the case, the dry martini is a less sweet version of its classic martini predecessor. The dry version became popular during Prohibition as a way to mask the lesser quality taste of the bootleg gin that was available at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Related:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/abeautifulmess.com\/how-to-make-a-vodka-martini\/\">Vodka Martini Recipe (3 Ways!)<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/abeautifulmess.com\/easy-espresso-martini\/\">Espresso Martini<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/abeautifulmess.com\/easy-at-home-chocolate-martini\/\">Chocolate Martini Recipe<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/abeautifulmess.com\/lychee-martini\/\">Lychee Martini<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/abeautifulmess.com\/pink-lady\/\">Pink Lady<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/abeautifulmess.com\/french-martini\/\">French Martini<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/abeautifulmess.com\/vesper-martini\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Vesper Martini<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1333\" height=\"2000\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/abeautifulmess.com\/dry-martini\/?tp_image_id=123822\" src=\"https:\/\/abeautifulmess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/dry-martini-gin-vodka-classic-best-1-3.jpg\" alt=\"dry martini with an olive\" class=\"wp-image-123822\" srcset=\"https:\/\/abeautifulmess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/dry-martini-gin-vodka-classic-best-1-3.jpg 1333w, https:\/\/abeautifulmess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/dry-martini-gin-vodka-classic-best-1-3-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/abeautifulmess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/dry-martini-gin-vodka-classic-best-1-3-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/abeautifulmess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/dry-martini-gin-vodka-classic-best-1-3-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/abeautifulmess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/dry-martini-gin-vodka-classic-best-1-3-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/abeautifulmess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/dry-martini-gin-vodka-classic-best-1-3-67x100.jpg 67w, https:\/\/abeautifulmess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/dry-martini-gin-vodka-classic-best-1-3-40x60.jpg 40w, https:\/\/abeautifulmess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/dry-martini-gin-vodka-classic-best-1-3-750x1125.jpg 750w, https:\/\/abeautifulmess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/dry-martini-gin-vodka-classic-best-1-3-730x1095.jpg 730w, https:\/\/abeautifulmess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/dry-martini-gin-vodka-classic-best-1-3-700x1050.jpg 700w, https:\/\/abeautifulmess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/dry-martini-gin-vodka-classic-best-1-3-550x825.jpg 550w, https:\/\/abeautifulmess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/dry-martini-gin-vodka-classic-best-1-3-156x234.jpg 156w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1333px) 100vw, 1333px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-yoast-seo-table-of-contents yoast-table-of-contents\"><ul><li><a href=\"#h-do-you-use-gin-or-vodka-for-a-dry-martini\" data-level=\"3\">Do you use gin or vodka for a dry martini?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-what-type-of-gin-is-best-for-a-dry-martini\" data-level=\"3\">What type of gin is best for a dry martini?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-what-makes-a-dry-martini-dry\" data-level=\"3\">What makes a dry martini dry?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-ingredients\" data-level=\"2\">Ingredients<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-directions\" data-level=\"2\">Directions<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-tips-for-making-a-dry-martini\" data-level=\"2\">Tips for Making A Dry Martini<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-serving-suggestions\" data-level=\"2\">Serving Suggestions<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-do-you-use-gin-or-vodka-for-a-dry-martini\">Do you use gin or vodka for a dry martini?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While gin is more commonly used for a dirty martini, it&#8217;s up to your personal preference to use vodka or gin as your base.

Switching to a dry gin and dry vermouth choice gives this martini its name. A dry gin doesn&#8217;t have any sweeteners added at the end of the distilling process and so it has a stronger herbal kick to the drink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dry also means a stronger proportion of higher-proof spirit to lower-alcohol mixer when describing cocktails (in this case that means much more gin than vermouth).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1333\" height=\"2000\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/abeautifulmess.com\/dry-martini\/?tp_image_id=123829\" src=\"https:\/\/abeautifulmess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/dry-martini-gin-vodka-ingredients.jpg\" alt=\"dry martini ingredients with an olive\" class=\"wp-image-123829\" srcset=\"https:\/\/abeautifulmess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/dry-martini-gin-vodka-ingredients.jpg 1333w, https:\/\/abeautifulmess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/dry-martini-gin-vodka-ingredients-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/abeautifulmess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/dry-martini-gin-vodka-ingredients-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/abeautifulmess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/dry-martini-gin-vodka-ingredients-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/abeautifulmess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/dry-martini-gin-vodka-ingredients-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/abeautifulmess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/dry-martini-gin-vodka-ingredients-67x100.jpg 67w, https:\/\/abeautifulmess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/dry-martini-gin-vodka-ingredients-40x60.jpg 40w, https:\/\/abeautifulmess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/dry-martini-gin-vodka-ingredients-750x1125.jpg 750w, https:\/\/abeautifulmess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/dry-martini-gin-vodka-ingredients-730x1095.jpg 730w, https:\/\/abeautifulmess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/dry-martini-gin-vodka-ingredients-700x1050.jpg 700w, https:\/\/abeautifulmess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/dry-martini-gin-vodka-ingredients-550x825.jpg 550w, https:\/\/abeautifulmess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/dry-martini-gin-vodka-ingredients-156x234.jpg 156w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1333px) 100vw, 1333px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ingredients\">Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Gin:<\/strong> The bulk of your drink will be made up with this so make sure that it&#8217;s a favorite of yours and high quality.
