How To
How to make an excellent martini
A martini (or vodka) is made of gin, vermouth, ice and other ingredients. The ingredients must be mixed together properly before serving. It is typically served in chilled glasses. It is best to have a martini straight up. If you mix it, then you ruin the taste.
Two olives are the most popular way to serve a martini. Olive brine can be added to the rim of the glass to enhance the flavor.
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. There are many varieties of vermouths, but we recommend using one without added sugar. Cocktails that contain sugar are too sweet.
Pour 2 ounces dry vermouth into a shaker with ice to make a martini. Add 1 ounce of vodka. Combine all ingredients in a shaker until smooth. Put the mixture in a chilled martini cup and garnish it 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.
