"The drink we are about to make is called a "Farmer's Cocktail". We are going to serve this in a martini glass if you want to put some water and ice in there and let it set for 30 seconds and it will get it nice and chilled. Put some ice in a glass and measure out two ounces of gin, there we go. There we go that's two ounces and next we'll do a half an ounce of dry vermouth followed by half an ounce of sweet vermouth. Last we'll do two dashes of bitters, there we go. Now we are going to stir this one and not shake it so if you grab your strainer and your spoon and just put it on the side there and you can just stir it up like this. That will do the trick get it nice and blended. Now grab your martini glass and put your strainer back on here and go ahead and pour it in and that is a "Farmer's Cocktail". Bottoms up."
