I’m a cocktail expert and I am making this easy-drinking Martini again.
Ive seen Stanley Tucciwho hada public moment on Instagramwith theNegroniduring the COVID lockdownmake a versionof the Martini too.
(There are speculations that Madden is the new James Bond.)

The universe was sending me a message.
I needed to try the Tucci Martini.
Tucci calls for the requisite two ingredients needed to make a Martini: gin and dry vermouth.

Typically a Martini is made by stirring the ingredients with ice and straining it to serve.
Thats not what Tucci does.
He rinses the mixing glass with vermouth and then discards ityes, he throws out the vermouth!

making a very dry Martini.
But theres more: He uses a timer!
To make the Martini, Tucci mixes and waits for a specific amount of time.
Ultimately, this melts the ice, diluting what is usually a very boozy cocktail.
Im supposed to be the professional, yet I have no clue!
Surprisingly, that wasnt the case.
Its a Martini, sure, but its an easy-drinking Martini.
Id make it again.
Id consider this an entry-level Martini.
He preferred all gin, sans vermouth.
This vermouth-washed Martini will appease drinkers like Churchill.
For everyone else: Enjoy!
I loveFords Gin, butBeefeater London Dry Ginis a classic for a reason!
