How To
How to make an excellent martini
A martini is made from gin (or vodka), vermouth, and ice. The ingredients must be mixed together properly before serving. The chilled glass is preferred. You should serve a proper martini straight up without adding anything. If you mix it, then you ruin the taste.
A martini can be served with two olives. You can also put some olive brine on the rim of the glass if you want to give your drink extra flavor.
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 varieties of vermouths, but we recommend using one without added sugar. Cocktails that contain sugar are too sweet.
Pour 2 ounces dry vermouth into a shaker with ice to make a martini. 1 ounce vodka. Mix well. In a chilled martini shaker, add the olive and garnish with a lemon wedge.
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.
