How to make a delicious martini
A martini (or vodka) is made of gin, vermouth, ice and other ingredients. Mix all ingredients together before serving. It is typically served in chilled glasses. A proper martini should be served straight up, without mixing it with anything else. You ruin the taste if you mix it.
The most common way to serve a martini is with two olives on top. You can also put some olive brine on the rim of the glass if you want to give your drink extra flavor.
You can use any type of alcohol, but it's best to use 100% grain alcohol like Vodka or Gin. This gives the cocktail a smoother texture. Although there are many vermouths on the market, we recommend one that does not contain any added sugar. Too much sugar makes cocktails too sweet.
To start making a martini, pour 2 ounces of dry vermouth into a shaker filled with ice. Add 1 ounce of vodka. Shake vigorously until well combined. Put the mixture in a chilled martini cup and garnish it with an olive.
The same steps are required to make a martini in a shaker. You don't need to shake the mixture much, just enough to combine the ingredients.
