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's best to serve it in a chilled glass. A proper martini should be served straight up, without mixing it with anything else. It will taste bad if it is mixed.
Two olives are the most popular way to serve a martini. You can also put some olive brine on the rim of the glass if you want to give your drink extra flavor.
While you can use any alcohol, it's better to use 100% of the grain alcohol like Vodka and Gin. This gives the cocktail smoother texture. There are many types of vermouths available. We recommend that you choose one with no added sugar. Sugar makes cocktails too sweet.
Start making a martini. Pour 2 ounces dried vermouth into an ice-filled shaker. 1 ounce vodka. Mix well. Mix well in a chilled martini glass. Garnish with an olive.
Make a martini recipe using a shaker. Remember not to shake the mixture too much - only enough to combine all the ingredients.
