MARTINI COCKTAIL
Introduction to Martini Cocktail:
Martini is one of the most iconic cocktails, embodying elegance and sophistication. Made from a blend of vodka and dry vermouth, Martini boasts a bold, crisp, yet incredibly refined flavor. Loved by many celebrities, it has been referred to as the “king of cocktails.” Traditional Martini can be served “dry” or “wet,” depending on the ratio of vermouth to vodka.
Classic Martini Recipe:
Ingredients:
- 60ml OAK vodka
- 10ml dry vermouth.
- Ice cubes.
- A lemon twist or an olive for garnish.
Tools:
- Martini glass.
- Mixing glass or shaker.
- Bar spoon and strainer.
Instructions:
- Chill the Martini glass by filling it with ice while preparing the drink.
- In a mixing glass (or shaker), add ice cubes, gin, and dry vermouth.
- Stir the mixture gently for about 20-30 seconds (do not shake to avoid over-dilution).
- Strain the mixture into the chilled Martini glass.
- Garnish with a twist of lemon peel to release its essential oils or drop in an olive.
Tips:
- For a “drier” Martini, reduce the amount of dry vermouth.
- For a “wetter” Martini, increase the vermouth ratio.
Savoring a perfectly crafted Martini is an unmissable experience for any cocktail enthusiast!
