Artillery

A lean, spirit-forward stirred cocktail that channels the elegance of early 20th-century gin drinks - clean, aromatic, and deceptively complex for its three-ingredient simplicity.

From the Bartender

The Artillery is a close cousin to the Martinez and early Martini variants - a high gin-to-vermouth ratio keeps it lean and dry, but don't skimp on the vermouth entirely, as it provides essential body and aromatic complexity. Use a quality London Dry gin and a fresh bottle of sweet vermouth for best results.
