What Is A Gin Martini Straight Up?
A gin martini straight up is a classic cocktail made with gin and dry vermouth that is served without ice in a chilled glass. The drink is typically stirred or shaken with ice to chill and dilute it before being strained into the glass. A garnish such as a twist of lemon or olives is often added for flavor. The term “straight up” refers to the way the drink is served, without ice and in a stemmed glass.
