FAQ
Why is a martini so great?
A martini is the ultimate cocktail. It is the simplest cocktail, but it has a complex flavor. It's equal parts gin- and vermouth.
Gin is made of fermented juniperberries. It is well-known for its refreshingly smooth flavor. Vermouth is a fortified wine that contains herbs such as wormwood or gentian. Combining these two liquids gives you a wonderful combination of sweet and tart flavors.
How do you keep your drinks cold?
Put them in the freezer for 20 minutes. This will chill them quickly without diluting the drink.
Can I freeze my drinks?
Yes, but there are some precautions you should follow. First, be sure to label all of your bottles, so you know which ones have been frozen. Do not fill your bottles with more than half. A full bottle can cause your drink to overflow and spill out. You should also wait at least two hours before freezing your drink.
