How To
How to make an excellent martini
A martini is made from gin (or vodka), vermouth, and ice. The ingredients must be mixed together properly before serving. It is usually served in a chilled glass. A good martini should always be served straight up. If you mix it, then you ruin the taste.
Two olives are the most common way to serve martinis. Olive brine can be added to the rim of the glass to enhance the flavor.
Any type of alcohol can be used, however it is best to use 100% grain alcohol such as Vodka and Gin. This gives the cocktail an easier 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.
To make a martini, add 2 ounces of dry vodka to a shaker. 1 ounce vodka is added. Combine all ingredients in a shaker until smooth. Place in a chilled martini glasses and garnish with an olive.
The same steps are required to make a martini in a shaker. You don't need to shake the mixture much, just enough to combine the ingredients.
