How To
How to make an excellent martini
A martini consists of gin (or vodka), vermouth and ice. Before serving, the ingredients should be thoroughly mixed. The chilled glass is preferred. A proper martini should be served straight up, without mixing it with anything else. You ruin the taste if you mix it.
A martini with two olives on the top is the best way to serve it. If you wish to add more flavor to your drink, you can put olive brine around the rim.
It doesn't matter what type of alcohol you use, but 100% grain alcohol is preferred like Vodka. This gives the cocktail a smoother texture. There are many kinds of vermouths. However, we recommend choosing one that doesn't contain added sugar. Cocktails can become too sweet with sugar.
Start making a martini. Pour 2 ounces dried vermouth into an ice-filled shaker. 1 ounce vodka. Mix well. Place in a chilled martini glasses and garnish with an olive.
Follow the steps above to make a martini with a shaker. You don't need to shake the mixture much, just enough to combine the ingredients.
