A Martini is a classic cocktail typically made with gin and dry vermouth, garnished with an olive or a lemon twist. It is known for its crisp and refreshing taste, making it a popular choice in bars and restaurants. The drink can be served shaken or stirred, depending on personal preference.
The origins of the Martini date back to the 19th century, with various stories about its creation. It gained significant popularity in the early 20th century and has since become a symbol of sophistication, often associated with the fictional character James Bond, who famously orders it "shaken, not stirred."
