How To
How to make a good martini?
A martini (or vodka) is made of gin, vermouth, ice and other ingredients. Before you serve, mix all the ingredients well. It is best served chilled in a glass. A proper martini should be served straight up, without mixing it with anything else. Mixing it can ruin the flavor.
The most common way to serve a martini is with two olives on top. You can also put some olive brine on the rim of the glass if you want to give your drink extra flavor.
Although you can use any type or alcohol, it is better to use 100%-grain alcohol such as Vodka or Gin. This gives the cocktail a smoother texture. There are many types of vermouths available. We recommend that you choose one with no added sugar. Cocktails can become too sweet with sugar.
To make a martini, add 2 ounces of dry vodka to a shaker. Add 1 ounce of vodka. Stir vigorously until combined. In a chilled martini shaker, add the olive and garnish with a lemon wedge.
Follow the steps above to make a martini with a shaker. Don't shake the mixture too vigorously - just enough to combine all ingredients.
