This is a very customisable drink – you can swap the white vermouth for rosé, choose your favourite gin, switch the garnish for a twist of lemon or, in the case of rosé vermouth, perhaps a slice of cucumber. Up the umami with an olive stuffed with blue cheese or dirty the martini with a splash of brine.
