How To
How do you make a great martini?
A martini is made with gin, vermouth, and ice. Mix all ingredients together before serving. It is best served chilled in a glass. A good martini should always be served straight up. Mixing it can ruin the flavor.
Two olives are the most popular way to serve a martini. If you want to give your drink an extra flavor, you can add some olive brine to its 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 more texture. Many types of vermouths are available, but we recommend choosing one that contains no added sugar. Sugar makes cocktails too sweet.
Make a martini by adding 2 ounces of dry Vermouth to a shaker. 1 ounce 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.
