How To
How to make a good martini?
A martini can be made from gin or vodka, vermouth, and water. Before mixing the ingredients, it is important to thoroughly combine them. The chilled glass is preferred. You should serve a proper martini straight up without adding anything. It will taste bad if it is mixed.
Two olives are the most common way to serve martinis. You can also add olive brine to the rim of your glass if you want to make your drink more flavorful.
It doesn't matter what type of alcohol you use, but 100% grain alcohol is preferred like Vodka. This gives the cocktail smoother texture. There are many types of vermouths available. We recommend that you choose one with no added sugar. Cocktails that contain sugar are too sweet.
Pour 2 ounces dry vermouth into a shaker with ice to make a martini. 1 ounce vodka. Shake vigorously until well combined. Pour into a chilled martini glass and garnish with an olive.
To make a martini using a shaker, follow the same steps above. You don't need to shake the mixture much, just enough to combine the ingredients.
