How To
How to make a delicious martini
A martini consists of gin (or vodka), vermouth and ice. Before serving, the ingredients should be thoroughly mixed. The chilled glass is preferred. It is best to have a martini straight up. 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 add olive brine to the rim of your glass if you want to make your drink more flavorful.
You can use any type of alcohol, but it's best to use 100% grain alcohol like Vodka or 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 can make cocktails too sweet.
To start making a martini, pour 2 ounces of dry vermouth into a shaker filled with ice. Add 1 ounce vodka. Shake vigorously until well combined. Place in a chilled martini glasses and garnish with an olive.
To make a martini using a shaker, follow the same steps above. Remember not to shake the mixture too much - only enough to combine all the ingredients.
