How To
How do you make a great martini?
A martini consists of gin (or vodka), vermouth and ice. Before you serve, mix all the ingredients well. It is usually served in a chilled glass. You should serve a proper martini straight up without adding anything. It will taste bad if it is mixed.
A martini with two olives on the top is the best way to serve it. Olive brine can be added to the rim of the glass to enhance the flavor.
Although you can use any type or alcohol, it is better to use 100%-grain alcohol such as Vodka or Gin. This gives the cocktail an easier texture. There are many varieties of vermouths, but we recommend using one without added sugar. Sugar makes cocktails too sweet.
To start making a martini, pour 2 ounces of dry vermouth into a shaker filled with ice. Add 1 ounce of vodka. Combine all ingredients in a shaker until smooth. Mix well in a chilled martini glass. Garnish with an olive.
Make a martini recipe using a shaker. You don't need to shake the mixture much, just enough to combine the ingredients.
