What makes a martini so delicious?
A martini has been called the "ultimate cocktail". It's the simplest drink but has the most complex flavor. It's equal parts gin- and vermouth.
Gin is made from fermented Juniper berries. It is refreshingly smooth. Vermouth, a fortified wine made with herbs like wormwood (or gentian), is called vermouth. These two liquids combine to create a delicious mixture of sweet flavors and sour tastes.
How do I know if a drink is strong?
A stronger drink contains more alcohol than a weaker one. Proof is a measure of how much alcohol is in a drink. One proof equals one percent alcohol for each 100g grain alcohol volume. So a 12 oz. A bottle of wine would need to be 10 proofs while a 16 oz. bottle would require 16. beer would be 13 proofs, while a 40 oz. 45 proofs of Scotch would equal a bottle.

How To
How to make a good martini?
A martini consists of gin (or vodka), vermouth and ice. Mix all ingredients together before serving. It is typically served in chilled glasses. A good martini should always be served straight up. You ruin the taste if you mix it.
A martini can be served with two olives. You can also add olive brine to the rim of your glass if you want to make your drink more flavorful.
It doesn't matter what type of alcohol you use, but 100% grain alcohol is preferred like Vodka. This gives the cocktail an easier texture. There are many kinds of vermouths. However, we recommend choosing one that doesn't contain added sugar. Too much sugar makes cocktails too sweet.
Start making a martini. Pour 2 ounces dried vermouth into an ice-filled shaker. Add 1 ounce vodka. Combine all ingredients in a shaker until smooth. In a chilled martini shaker, add the olive and garnish with a lemon wedge.
Make a martini recipe using a shaker. Do not shake the mixture more than necessary to mix all the ingredients.
