How To
How to make a good martini?
A martini can be made from gin or vodka, vermouth, and water. Mix all ingredients together before serving. The chilled glass is preferred. It should be enjoyed straight up. You ruin the taste if you mix it.
Two olives are the most popular way to serve a martini. You can also add olive brine to the rim of your glass if you want to make your drink more flavorful.
You can use any type of alcohol, but it's best to use 100% grain alcohol like Vodka or 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.
To start making a martini, pour 2 ounces of dry vermouth into a shaker filled with ice. 1 ounce vodka. Mix well. Put the mixture in a chilled martini cup and garnish it with an olive.
To make a martini using a shaker, follow the same steps above. Do not shake the mixture more than necessary to mix all the ingredients.
