How To
How to make an excellent martini
A martini (or vodka) is made of gin, vermouth, ice and other ingredients. Before serving, the ingredients should be thoroughly mixed. The chilled glass is preferred. A good martini should always be served straight up. If you mix it, then you ruin the taste.
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.
You can use any type of alcohol, but it's best to use 100% grain alcohol like Vodka or Gin. This gives the cocktail more 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.
To start making a martini, pour 2 ounces of dry vermouth into a shaker filled with ice. 1 ounce vodka is added. Stir vigorously until combined. In a chilled martini shaker, add the olive and garnish with a lemon wedge.
Follow the steps above to make a martini with a shaker. Remember not to shake the mixture too much - only enough to combine all the ingredients.
