How To
How to make a martini that is good
A martini consists of gin (or vodka), vermouth and ice. The ingredients must be mixed together properly before serving. The chilled glass is preferred. A good martini should always be served straight up. Mixing it with anything else will ruin its taste.
Two olives are the most popular way to serve a martini. Olive brine can be added to the rim of the glass to enhance the flavor.
Any type of alcohol can be used, however it is best to use 100% grain alcohol such as Vodka and Gin. This gives the cocktail smoother texture. There are many varieties of vermouths, but we recommend using one without 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 is added. Stir vigorously until combined. Pour into a chilled martini glass and garnish with an olive.
The same steps are required to make a martini in a shaker. Do not shake the mixture more than necessary to mix all the ingredients.
