How To
How to make a good martini?
A martini is made with gin, vermouth, and ice. The ingredients must be mixed together properly before serving. It is best served chilled in a glass. It should be enjoyed straight up. If you mix it, then you ruin the taste.
Two olives are the most common way to serve martinis. If you want to give your drink an extra flavor, you can add some olive brine to its rim.
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 varieties of vermouths, but we recommend using one without 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. 1 ounce vodka. Mix well. Mix well in a chilled martini glass. Garnish with an olive.
You can make a martini by using the shaker. Follow these steps. Be careful not to stir the mixture too much. Only enough is needed to combine all of the ingredients.
