How To
How do you make a great martini?
A martini consists of gin (or vodka), vermouth and ice. Before serving, the ingredients should be thoroughly mixed. It is typically served in chilled glasses. It is best to have a martini straight up. Mixing it can ruin the flavor.
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 more texture. There are many varieties of vermouths, but we recommend using one without added sugar. Sugar can make cocktails too sweet.
To make a martini, add 2 ounces of dry vodka 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.
The same steps are required to make a martini in a shaker. Remember not to shake the mixture too much - only enough to combine all the ingredients.
