How To
How to make an excellent martini
A martini consists of gin (or vodka), vermouth and ice. Before you serve, mix all the ingredients well. It is usually served in a chilled glass. You should serve a proper martini straight up without adding anything. Mixing it can ruin the flavor.
Two olives are the most common way to serve martinis. Olive brine can be added to the rim of the glass to enhance the 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 an easier 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.
Start making a martini. Pour 2 ounces dried vermouth into an ice-filled shaker. 1 ounce vodka is added. Shake vigorously until well combined. Mix well in a chilled martini glass. 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.
