How To
How do you make a great martini?
A martini consists of gin (or vodka), vermouth and ice. Before mixing the ingredients, it is important to thoroughly combine them. It is best served chilled in a glass. You should serve a proper martini straight up without adding anything. Mixing it with anything else will ruin its taste.
The most common way to serve a martini is with two olives on top. You can also add olive brine to the rim of your glass if you want to make your drink more flavorful.
You can use any type of alcohol, but it's best to use 100% grain alcohol like Vodka or Gin. This gives the cocktail an easier texture. There are many types of vermouths available. We recommend that you choose one with no added sugar. Too much sugar makes cocktails too sweet.
Pour 2 ounces dry vermouth into a shaker with ice to make a martini. 1 ounce vodka is added. Shake vigorously until well combined. Put the mixture in a chilled martini cup and garnish it with an olive.
To make a martini using a shaker, follow the same steps above. Don't shake the mixture too vigorously - just enough to combine all ingredients.
