How To
How to make a martini that is good
A martini is made from 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. It will taste bad if it is mixed.
The most common way to serve a martini is with two olives on top. You can also put some olive brine on the rim of the glass if you want to give your drink extra flavor.
You can use any type of alcohol, but it's best to use 100% grain alcohol like Vodka or Gin. This gives the cocktail smoother texture. There are many types of vermouths available. We recommend that you choose one with no added sugar. Cocktails can become too sweet with sugar.
To make a martini, add 2 ounces of dry vodka to a shaker. Add 1 ounce of vodka. Shake vigorously until well combined. Pour into a chilled martini glass and garnish with an olive.
To make a martini using a shaker, follow the same steps above. Do not shake the mixture more than necessary to mix all the ingredients.
