How To
How to make a delicious martini
A martini (or vodka) is made of gin, vermouth, ice and other ingredients. The ingredients must be mixed together properly before serving. It is best served chilled in a glass. A proper martini should be served straight up, without mixing it with anything else. If you mix it, then you ruin the taste.
A martini can be served with two olives. If you wish to add more flavor to your drink, you can put olive brine around the rim.
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. There are many kinds of vermouths. However, we recommend choosing one that doesn't contain added sugar. Too much sugar makes 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. Shake vigorously until well combined. Pour into a chilled martini glass and garnish with an olive.
The same steps are required to make a martini in a shaker. You don't need to shake the mixture much, just enough to combine the ingredients.
