Two olives are the most popular way to serve a martini. Olive brine can be added to the rim of the glass to enhance the flavor.
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 smoother texture. There are many varieties of vermouths, but we recommend using one without added sugar. Sugar can make cocktails too sweet.
