A martini consists of gin (or vodka), vermouth and ice. Before serving, the ingredients should be thoroughly mixed. 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 common way to serve martinis. If you want to give your drink an extra flavor, you can add some olive brine to its rim.
While you can use any alcohol, it's better to use 100% of the grain alcohol like Vodka and Gin. This gives the cocktail more texture. There are many kinds of vermouths. However, we recommend choosing one that doesn't contain added sugar. Sugar makes cocktails too sweet.
