How To
How to make a martini that is good
A martini consists of gin (or vodka), vermouth and ice. Before you serve, mix all the ingredients well. The chilled glass is preferred. A good martini should always be served straight up. Mixing it can ruin the flavor.
A martini can be served with two olives. Olive brine can be added to the rim of the glass to enhance the 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. Many types of vermouths are available, but we recommend choosing one that contains no added sugar. Cocktails that contain sugar are too sweet.
Make a martini by adding 2 ounces of dry Vermouth to a shaker. Add 1 ounce of vodka. Combine all ingredients in a shaker until smooth. In a chilled martini shaker, add the olive and garnish with a lemon wedge.
Make a martini recipe using a shaker. Remember not to shake the mixture too much - only enough to combine all the ingredients.
