How To
How to make a delicious martini
A martini can be made from gin or vodka, vermouth, and water. The ingredients must be mixed together properly before serving. It is typically served in chilled glasses. You should serve a proper martini straight up without adding anything. Mixing it with anything else will ruin its taste.
The most common way to serve a martini is with two olives on top. If you wish to add more flavor to your drink, you can put olive brine around the rim.
It doesn't matter what type of alcohol you use, but 100% grain alcohol is preferred like Vodka. This gives the cocktail an easier texture. There are many types of vermouths available. We recommend that you choose one with no added sugar. Sugar can make cocktails too sweet.
To make a martini, add 2 ounces of dry vodka to a shaker. Add 1 ounce vodka. Shake vigorously until well combined. Place in a chilled martini glasses and garnish with an olive.
You can make a martini by using the shaker. Follow these steps. Don't shake the mixture too vigorously - just enough to combine all ingredients.
