How To
How to make a martini that is good
A martini (or vodka) is made of gin, vermouth, ice and other ingredients. Before mixing the ingredients, it is important to thoroughly combine them. It is typically served in chilled glasses. You should serve a proper martini straight up without adding anything. If you mix it, then you ruin the taste.
Two olives are the most common way to serve martinis. If you wish to add more flavor to your drink, you can put olive brine around the rim.
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 a smoother texture. There are many types of vermouths available. We recommend that you choose one with no added sugar. Cocktails that contain sugar are too sweet.
Start making a martini. Pour 2 ounces dried vermouth into an ice-filled shaker. Add 1 ounce of vodka. Shake vigorously until well combined. Put the mixture in a chilled martini cup and garnish it with an olive.
The same steps are required to make a martini in a shaker. Be careful not to stir the mixture too much. Only enough is needed to combine all of the ingredients.
