Drinks Cocktails Gin Cocktails Frozen Martini 4.3 (3) 3 Reviews Max Green, owner and bartender of NYC's Blue Quarter, shared his recipe for the perfect martini, which he makes ahead in big batches and freezes. There's no ice and no stirring or shaking with the Frozen Martini: With a formula of two parts gin, one part vermouth, and one part water, the ideal dilution is built into the batch. When you take it out of the freezer, the liquid won't be completely frozen but will glide right out of the bottle. Let it sit in the glass on the counter for a minute before sipping. Alcohol has a low freezing point, so it warms up quickly, and when it does, the drink will be as smooth as can be. The garnish is up to you.
