How To
How to make an excellent martini
A martini is made from gin (or vodka), vermouth, and ice. Before mixing the ingredients, it is important to thoroughly combine them. It's best to serve it in a chilled glass. You should serve a proper martini straight up without adding anything. Mixing it with anything else will ruin its taste.
A martini with two olives on the top is the best way to serve it. 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 an easier texture. There are many types of vermouths available. We recommend that you choose one with no added sugar. Too much sugar makes cocktails too sweet.
Start making a martini. Pour 2 ounces dried vermouth into an ice-filled shaker. 1 ounce vodka is added. Shake vigorously until well combined. Mix well in a chilled martini glass. Garnish with an olive.
You can make a martini by using the shaker. Follow these steps. Do not shake the mixture more than necessary to mix all the ingredients.
