Shaken or stirred? Our best ever Martini recipes

Who knew there were so many variations to the age old Martini? The original American elixir involved pouring gin and dry vermouth into a mixing glass with ice cubes and stirring. Once mixed, the liquid was strained into a chilled cocktail glass and garnished with either an olive or a twist of lemon peel. However, today’s martinis are prepared in all sorts of ways, embracing different flavours and strengths.

Here are a handful of our favourite Martini recipes from mindfood.com:
