How To
How do you make a great martini?
A martini is made from gin (or vodka), vermouth, and ice. Mix all ingredients together before serving. It is usually served in a chilled glass. A proper martini should be served straight up, without mixing it with anything else. Mixing it can ruin the flavor.
A martini with two olives on the top is the best way to serve it. You can also add olive brine to the rim of your glass if you want to make your drink more flavorful.
Although you can use any type or alcohol, it is better to use 100%-grain alcohol such as Vodka or Gin. This gives the cocktail a smoother texture. Although there are many vermouths on the market, we recommend one that does not contain any added sugar. Sugar makes cocktails too sweet.
Make a martini by adding 2 ounces of dry Vermouth to a shaker. Add 1 ounce of vodka. Add 1 ounce vodka to the mixture and shake vigorously. Place in a chilled martini glasses and garnish with an olive.
To make a martini using a shaker, follow the same steps above. Be careful not to stir the mixture too much. Only enough is needed to combine all of the ingredients.
