How To
How to make a good martini?
A martini is made from gin (or vodka), vermouth, and ice. Mix all ingredients together before serving. It is usually served in a chilled glass. A proper martini should be served straight up, without mixing it with anything else. You ruin the taste if you mix it.
Two olives are the most common way to serve martinis. 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 a smoother texture. There are many varieties of vermouths, but we recommend using one without added sugar. Sugar makes cocktails too sweet.
Start making a martini. Pour 2 ounces dried vermouth into an ice-filled shaker. Add 1 ounce of vodka. Stir vigorously until combined. Mix well in a chilled martini glass. Garnish 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.
