How To
How to make an excellent martini
A martini is made from gin (or vodka), vermouth, and ice. The ingredients must be mixed together properly before serving. It is usually served in a chilled glass. You should serve a proper martini straight up without adding anything. If you mix it, then you ruin the taste.
The most common way to serve a martini is with two olives on top. Olive brine can be added to the rim of the glass to enhance the flavor.
It doesn't matter what type of alcohol you use, but 100% grain alcohol is preferred like Vodka. This gives the cocktail a smoother texture. Many types of vermouths are available, but we recommend choosing one that contains no added sugar. Too much sugar makes cocktails too sweet.
To start making a martini, pour 2 ounces of dry vermouth into a shaker filled with ice. 1 ounce vodka is added. Shake vigorously until well combined. Mix well in a chilled martini glass. Garnish with an olive.
You can make a martini by using the shaker. Follow these steps. You don't need to shake the mixture much, just enough to combine the ingredients.
