Alton Brown, renowned for his culinary precision, shares his detailed martini-making approach that involves a specific ratio of 60ml gin, 20ml vermouth, and 10ml olive brine, garnished with precisely three olives. This blend creates a 'little bit dirty' martini. To achieve the perfect chill, he recommends storing gin in the freezer and mixing the cocktail in a pitcher rather than a tumbler, which helps maintain the martini's flavor without causing excessive dilution from melting ice. This attention to detail exemplifies Brown's merging of culinary practice with science.
For Alton Brown, the ideal gin martini consists of three olives, in a 3-2-1 ratio of gin, vermouth, and olive brine, creating a perfect balance.
Brown's method involves using a pitcher instead of a tumbler to chill the martini, ensuring that the drink is perfectly chilled without excessive dilution.
