Before a meal, aperitif cocktails make a great drink to sip. They can be used as a palate cleanser. They can be enjoyed with friends after work or on a casual evening out.

There are many different kinds of aperitifs, including aperitif wines and liqueurs, as well as aperitif spirits. Aperitif gin is a popular choice, along with aperitif champagne and aperitif drinks. These drinks are typically served before a meal, but they can also be enjoyed at any time.

In 1919, Florence saw the creation of the Negroni cocktail. It is made up of equal amounts of Campari, sweet vermouth, and gin. To make it sweeter, you can add raspberry gum syrup or Rio Red Grapefruit Syrup. Aperol (a sweet liqueur made out of fruit) is another popular drink. If you enjoy the taste of aniseed, you can try a Pernod. Champagne, Pernod, and Aperitif Liquors are other drinks worth considering.

Some aperitifs come with soda water, while others are more dry. Some are fortified by quinine. Pimm's No. 1 is fortified with fruits and bitter herbs. Drinking aperitifs in the morning before you start eating can stimulate your appetite.

How To

How to make an excellent martini

A martini (or vodka) is made of gin, vermouth, ice and other ingredients. Before serving, the ingredients should be thoroughly mixed. The chilled glass is preferred. A proper martini should be served straight up, without mixing it with anything else. Mixing it can ruin the flavor.

Two olives are the most common way to serve martinis. If you want to give your drink an extra flavor, you can add some olive brine to its rim.

It doesn't matter what type of alcohol you use, but 100% grain alcohol is preferred like Vodka. This gives the cocktail more texture. There are many varieties of vermouths, but we recommend using one without added sugar. Sugar can make 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. Mix well. Put the mixture in a chilled martini cup and garnish it with an olive.

Make a martini recipe using a shaker. Don't shake the mixture too vigorously - just enough to combine all ingredients.
