About 1 hour before serving, rub the sprig of rosemary between the palms of your hands for 10 to 15 seconds and put it in a cocktail pitcher.
Pour the gin and vermouth over, stir to mix, and refrigerate.
Just before serving, add a generous handful of ice cubes to the pitcher and stir gently for a minute to give it an extra dose of chill.
Pour the martini into stemless martini glasses, leaving the ice behind in the pitcher.
