The Polo Bar shows us how to make this go-to classy cocktail, the martini.

America's first fashion magazine, Harper's Bazaar has showcased the visions of legendary editors, photographers and stylists since 1867.

A Straight Martini is much nicer than a shot of either gin or vodka, the dilution shaking with ice, the cold the ice leaves and the lemon take the edge off.

For those crying about it being shaken, I promise you in a blind test of shaken vs. stirred, those whining wouldn’t know a difference.

Wait, so you call a Straight Martini a glass of Gin or Vodka? damn.

I don't have olives in my area so I substituted it for a sauerkraut brine. It was pretty nice.

I never heard of bitters in Martinis. I've always just done two ounces of gin and one ounce of vermouth. I'll usually put an olive in.

My stylish dad's fave in the 70s! ;-)

My fav tito's martini dry with a twist but I mean a titio's martini straight might be good, Idk if I need the vermouth I haven't had without will def try

[MegaMarcin]

Classic Martini the best one... I don't know why people like to put as little as possible vermouth in their martini, its good stuff

[tomjens]

Lol, so straight up cosmo would also be the same - just vodka? :D

[renecovarrubias]

So the 3rd is a shot of Vodka in a martini glass? The deception…

[ShamelessMcBundy]

Why are you adding bitters to a martini?

[tastemakerguidie]

wearing spectacle i say sedation somehow not

[kuhnhan]

A martini without vermouth is like pouring tequila into a glass, adding nothing else, and calling it a margarita. In other words, straight gin in a martini glass is not a martini.

You cut off the guy's head? REALLY????

[ethangillese]

Lol whoever tells you to shake a martini, give em a good face slap.

[rickyric]

Instead of shaking or stirring it to get it nice and cold why can't you just keep the bottle of gin in the freezer?

[MatthewTaylor-feou]

Actually it's, "no fewer than three." Not less. Less vodka, fewer olives. Do you see how that works?
