Perfect Martini

1. Pour the gin, dry vermouth and sweet vermouth into a shaker, along with a few ice cubes.
2. Shake very gently for a few seconds, until the mix is chilled. Don't shake too hard; it will create air bubbles that will get you a cloudy drink.
3. Pour into a chilled cocktail glass.
4. Drop in olive in the glass for decoration.
