The martini. It’s been a staple since before 007 and has become one of the best-known cocktails of all time. They taste good, and there are tons of variations on the classic.
You can shake it, stir it, add vermouth or a twist; the possibilities are endless. Some people drink them with vodka, others with gin. Here are the components to choose from to create your ideal martini:
Liquor (choose one)
Vodka
Gin
Vermouth
Additions
Olive Juice
Garnishes
Pearl onion
Olive (preferably stuffed with blue cheese)
Lemon twist
Pick your liquor of choice. Add a splash of vermouth and either shake or stir to perfection. Serve it in a chilled cocktail glass with the garnish of your choice.
