The Martini is known as the “king of cocktails,” and never goes out of style. It’s on the cutting edge of liquors, and is constantly being reinvented. There are many variations to the recipe, such as a dry martini, as well as different flavoured varieties.
To make a Martini, mix the ingredients in a glass filled with ice cubes and stir for 30 seconds. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Add a dash of the orange or angostura bitters if desired. Lastly garnish with an olive or lemon twist. This is the general and most popular way to make a martini, but there are several variations to this recipe.
One famous variation comes from the famous spy movie, audiences know as ‘007’. To make a James Bond martini, mix 3 oz Gin, 1 oz Vodka and ½ oz Lilet Blanc Wine, pour into a cocktail shaker that’s filled halfway with cracked ice, shake well and strain into a chilled cocktail glass, and garnish with a twist of lemon.
Martinis are normally served in what is traditionally known as a Martini Glass, a stemmed glass that’s typically 250 ml, with a cone-shaped bowl on top of the stem. The ingredients are usually mixed in a cocktail shaker. To create a Martini bar at home, you’ll want to have a cocktail shaker, several Martini glasses, a jar of olives, a box of sip sticks and a box of swords.
