To prepare a Harry’s-style martini, selecting premium-quality ingredients is key:
- Gin or Vodka – Each imparts distinct flavor notes, depending on personal preference.

- Crystal-Clear Ice – Crucial for chilling the drink without excessive dilution.
- Elegant Garnishes – Olives, a lemon twist, or a cocktail onion can make all the difference.
Preparation Steps
- Chill the Glass – A perfect martini must be served ice-cold, so place the glass in ice while preparing the ingredients.
- Stir or Shake – Depending on the style, it can be shaken in a cocktail shaker or gently stirred in a mixing glass for a smoother texture.
