How To
How to make a good martini?
A martini consists of gin (or vodka), vermouth and ice. Before you serve, mix all the ingredients well. It is usually served in a chilled glass. You should serve a proper martini straight up without adding anything. Mixing it can ruin the flavor.
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.
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 types of vermouths available. We recommend that you choose one with no added sugar. Too much sugar makes cocktails too sweet.
Start making a martini. Pour 2 ounces dried vermouth into an ice-filled shaker. Add 1 ounce of vodka. Combine all ingredients in a shaker until smooth. Mix well in a chilled martini glass. 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.
