A little too dry for my tastes. For steps 2 and 3, substitute:
2. Purchase a fifth of good vermouth.
3. Shine a flashlight through the bottle of vermouth so that the light falls on the bottle of gin.

I prefer 100 proof vodka and a twist of lemon peel, myself, just slightly shaken over pure ice cubes (preferably made with softened water on a machine that puts the hole in the middle of the ice cube!)
BTW: FINALLY! Someone else who rinses the salt off the olives!

I usually pass the bottle of vermouth over top of the glass in one slow smooth motion, being careful not to spill any....sometimes I even take the cap off!

2. In the empty space at the top of the bottle, pour in Very Dry Vermouth to top off the bottle.
3. Replace cap and turn bottle end to end several times to mix.
4. Place bottle in freezer for 2 hours.
5. Open and top off with Vermouth again.
6. Place in freezer overnight.
And now... the drinking technique!
7. Place AT LEAST three cold large queen olives in martini glass (pre-chilling glass is optional).
8. Cover the olives in cold filtered water and swish.
9. Dump the water, straining the olives.
10. Remove the bottle from freezer and fill martini glass 1/8th inch below rim.

The "Worlds' Smoothest" martini is very simple...
Equal parts of Bombay Saphire gin and Glenfiddich single malt.
