Fridays are what we refer to as “snack night” at our house. Martinis are made for the adults and juice is served to the younger crowd. There is usually a moderate spread of various finger foods – cheese, crackers, things stuffed with other things and stuff you should really only eat in moderation. We’re like a PG version of the Rat Pack.
It’s our time to unwind as a family and really enjoy each other. What child under 5 doesn’t need a Friday night to relax after a hard week of. . . playing? With this in mind and to help you enjoy the end of your rough week, I present you with the weekly martini recipe:
The Classic Martini
2 shots gin
1/2 shot dry vermouth
3 olives
Fill martini shaker 3/4 full with ice.
Add gin & vermouth, shake vigorously and let rest.
Strain & pour martini into chilled glass, add 3 olives on a toothpick & enjoy!
