Two olives are the most common way to serve martinis. If you want to give your drink an extra flavor, you can add some olive brine to its rim.
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 an easier texture. There are many kinds of vermouths. However, we recommend choosing one that doesn't contain added sugar. Cocktails can become too sweet with sugar.
