How To
How to make a delicious martini
A martini can be made from gin or vodka, vermouth, and water. Before serving, the ingredients should be thoroughly mixed. The chilled glass is preferred. A good martini should always be served straight up. It will taste bad if it is mixed.
Two olives are the most common way to serve martinis. You can also add olive brine to the rim of your glass if you want to make your drink more flavorful.
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. Many types of vermouths are available, but we recommend choosing one that contains no added sugar. Sugar makes cocktails too sweet.
Pour 2 ounces dry vermouth into a shaker with ice to make a martini. 1 ounce vodka. Add 1 ounce vodka to the mixture and shake vigorously. Place in a chilled martini glasses and garnish with an olive.
The same steps are required to make a martini in a shaker. You don't need to shake the mixture much, just enough to combine the ingredients.
