How To
How to make a martini that is good
A martini is made with gin, vermouth, and ice. Before you serve, mix all the ingredients well. It is usually served in a chilled glass. It is best to have a martini straight up. Mixing it can ruin the flavor.
The most common way to serve a martini is with two olives on top. If you want to give your drink an extra flavor, you can add some olive brine to its rim.
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. There are many varieties of vermouths, but we recommend using one without 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. Stir vigorously until combined. Pour into a chilled martini glass and garnish with an olive.
Follow the steps above to make a martini with a shaker. Don't shake the mixture too vigorously - just enough to combine all ingredients.
