How To
How to make an excellent martini
A martini is made with gin, vermouth, and ice. The ingredients must be mixed together properly before serving. It is typically served in chilled glasses. A good martini should always be served straight up. You ruin the taste if you mix it.
A martini with two olives on the top is the best way to serve it. 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 more texture. Many types of vermouths are available, but we recommend choosing one that contains no added sugar. Cocktails can become too sweet with sugar.
Pour 2 ounces dry vermouth into a shaker with ice to make a martini. Add 1 ounce vodka. Mix well. Pour into a chilled martini glass and garnish with an olive.
Make a martini recipe using a shaker. You don't need to shake the mixture much, just enough to combine the ingredients.
