Statistics
- American blended whiskeys are so inexpensive because they only have to contain 20 percent whiskey; the rest can be made up of neutral grain spirits, colorings, and flavorings. (mashed.com)
- You can simply follow the rule of thumb: $1/beer or wine, $2/ cocktail, and 10-20% for large tabs. (alembicbar.com)
- If you choose one that's made with 100 percent agave (like Milagro or Sauza), you'll save a ton of money and still get a great-tasting drink. (mashed.com)
- The tequila should be 100 percent agave, not the cheaper “mixto” products, which blend a minimum of 51 percent agave with other sugars. (cooking.nytimes.com)

How To
How to make an excellent martini
A martini can be made from gin or vodka, vermouth, and water. Before you serve, mix all the ingredients well. It's best to serve it in a chilled glass. A good martini should always be served straight up. Mixing it can ruin the flavor.
Two olives are the most popular way to serve a martini. Olive brine can be added to the rim of the glass to enhance the flavor.
It doesn't matter what type of alcohol you use, but 100% grain alcohol is preferred like Vodka. This gives the cocktail more texture. Many types of vermouths are available, but we recommend choosing one that contains no 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. Shake vigorously until well combined. Put the mixture in a chilled martini cup and garnish it with an olive.
The same steps are required to make a martini in a shaker. Do not shake the mixture more than necessary to mix all the ingredients.
