How To
How to make an excellent martini
A martini (or vodka) is made of gin, vermouth, ice and other ingredients. The ingredients must be mixed together properly before serving. The chilled glass is preferred. It should be enjoyed straight up. Mixing it can ruin the flavor.
A martini can be served with two olives. 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 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.
To start making a martini, pour 2 ounces of dry vermouth into a shaker filled with ice. Add 1 ounce of vodka. Add 1 ounce vodka to the mixture and shake vigorously. In a chilled martini shaker, add the olive and garnish with a lemon wedge.
Make a martini recipe using a shaker. Remember not to shake the mixture too much - only enough to combine all the ingredients.
