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's best to serve it in a chilled glass. You should serve a proper martini straight up without adding anything. Mixing it can ruin the flavor.
Two olives are the most popular way to serve a martini. 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 a smoother texture. Many types of vermouths are available, but we recommend choosing one that contains no added sugar. Sugar can make cocktails too sweet.
To make a martini, add 2 ounces of dry vodka to a shaker. 1 ounce vodka is added. Stir vigorously until combined. Pour into a chilled martini glass and garnish with an olive.
You can make a martini by using the shaker. Follow these steps. Don't shake the mixture too vigorously - just enough to combine all ingredients.
