Fill a cocktail shaker with ice cubes. Add the gin and dry vermouth. Shake and strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with a martini berry.

These intriguing martini berries from Fortnum & Mason are a nice way to change up a cocktail. They taste like an olive however have tiny edible seeds inside that have a mild crunch. So glad we ordered these in our yearly Fortnum & Mason order.
