How to reduce the width of dropdown-menu?

I am using bootstrap 3 to create a simple drop-down menu, but I want to decrease its width and I can't figure it out how to do this.

HTML:

<div class="dropdown">
  <button class="btn btn-default dropdown-toggle" type="button" id="dropdownMenu1" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="true">
    Dropdown
    <span class="caret"></span>
  </button>
  <ul class="dropdown-menu" aria-labelledby="dropdownMenu1">
    <li><a href="#">Action</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Another</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Something</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Separated</a></li>
  </ul>
</div>

CSS:

.dropdown-menu {
    width: 60px !important;
}

Give a ID for the div and specify the min-width in the css as follows:

.dropdown #mydiv{ min-width:60px; }

Note: Do NOT use '!important'. For more information check out this great post by Chris Coyier : Specifics on CSS Specificity

.dropdown-menu has min-width: 160px; and min-width overrides width so you can not change width you can use min-width instead of width. 

.dropdown-menu {
  min-width: 60px !important;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.5/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.5/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />


<div class="dropdown">
  <button class="btn btn-default dropdown-toggle" type="button" id="dropdownMenu1" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="true">
    Dropdown
    <span class="caret"></span>
  </button>
  <ul class="dropdown-menu" aria-labelledby="dropdownMenu1">
    <li><a href="#">Action</a>
    </li>
    <li><a href="#">Another</a>
    </li>
    <li><a href="#">Something</a>
    </li>
    <li><a href="#">Separated</a>
    </li>
  </ul>
</div>

It works. You should call bootstrap lib and jquery. Please, read bootstrap documentation.
