How To
How to make a good 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 proper martini should be served straight up, without mixing it with anything else. Mixing it with anything else will ruin its taste.
Two olives are the most popular way to serve a martini. If you want to give your drink an extra flavor, you can add some olive brine to its rim.
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. Many types of vermouths are available, but we recommend choosing one that contains no added sugar. Cocktails can become too sweet with sugar.
To start making a martini, pour 2 ounces of dry vermouth into a shaker filled with ice. 1 ounce vodka is added. Mix well. In a chilled martini shaker, add the olive and garnish with a lemon wedge.
Follow the steps above to make a martini with a shaker. You don't need to shake the mixture much, just enough to combine the ingredients.
