Two olives are the most popular way to serve a martini. 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 a smoother 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.
Pour 2 ounces dry vermouth into a shaker with ice to make a martini. 1 ounce vodka is added. Mix well. In a chilled martini shaker, add the olive and garnish with a lemon wedge.
