How To
How to make an excellent martini
A martini (or vodka) is made of gin, vermouth, ice and other ingredients. The ingredients must be mixed together properly before serving. It is typically served in chilled glasses. It should be enjoyed straight up. Mixing it can ruin the flavor.
The most common way to serve a martini is with two olives on top. If you wish to add more flavor to your drink, you can put olive brine around the rim.
While you can use any alcohol, it's better to use 100% of the grain alcohol like Vodka and Gin. This gives the cocktail smoother texture. Although there are many vermouths on the market, we recommend one that does not contain any 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. Shake vigorously until well combined. Mix well in a chilled martini glass. Garnish with an olive.
To make a martini using a shaker, follow the same steps above. Be careful not to stir the mixture too much. Only enough is needed to combine all of the ingredients.
