How To
How to make a delicious martini
A martini (or vodka) is made of gin, vermouth, ice and other ingredients. Before serving, the ingredients should be thoroughly mixed. It's best to serve it in a chilled glass. A good martini should always be served straight up. If you mix it, then you ruin the taste.
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.
Although you can use any type or alcohol, it is better to use 100%-grain alcohol such as Vodka or Gin. This gives the cocktail an easier texture. There are many kinds of vermouths. However, we recommend choosing one that doesn't contain added sugar. Sugar can make cocktails too sweet.
To make a martini, add 2 ounces of dry vodka to a shaker. 1 ounce vodka is added. Combine all ingredients in a shaker until smooth. In a chilled martini shaker, add the olive and garnish with a lemon wedge.
To make a martini using a shaker, follow the same steps above. Be careful not to stir the mixture too much. Only enough is needed to combine all of the ingredients.
