How To
How to make a delicious martini
A martini can be made from gin or vodka, vermouth, and water. Before serving, the ingredients should be thoroughly mixed. It's best to serve it in a chilled glass. A good martini should always be served straight up. If you mix it, then you ruin the taste.
The most common way to serve a martini is with two olives on top. You can also add olive brine to the rim of your glass if you want to make your drink more flavorful.
It doesn't matter what type of alcohol you use, but 100% grain alcohol is preferred like Vodka. This gives the cocktail an easier texture. There are many types of vermouths available. We recommend that you choose one with no added sugar. Sugar can make cocktails too sweet.
Pour 2 ounces dry vermouth into a shaker with ice to make a martini. 1 ounce vodka is added. Mix well. Pour into a chilled martini glass and garnish with an olive.
You can make a martini by using the shaker. Follow these steps. Don't shake the mixture too vigorously - just enough to combine all ingredients.
