Dear Cindy: how do I make the perfect martini?

Including the all-important Cindy Gallop Martini Rule

I’ve followed you on social media for years (thanks for all the inspiring content!) and so I’m fully aware of your love for martinis. I’m curious - why is the martini your favorite cocktail, and what are your instructions for making the perfect martini?

Many years ago I came up with the Cindy Gallop Martini Rule, born out of bitter personal experience: One martini is bliss. Two martinis is ecstasy. Three martinis is fucking stupid. I’ve been breaking it regularly ever since 😂
