Martinis

Categories: Food

  • A Martini is a popular cocktail made with gin or vodka and vermouth.

  • Traditional Recipe

    The traditional martini is made with five parts gin and one part vermouth, usually equating to 21/2 ounces of gin and 1/2 ounce of vermouth, stirred and served in a chilled glass with an olive garnish.

  • The James Bond Effect

    Perhaps due in part to James Bond's trademark order of martinis "shaken, not stirred," martinis are now usually prepared by shaking the ingredients with ice in a cocktail shaker, then straining the drink into a glass. Some purists argue that this method dulls the taste of the vermouth, while others claim that it enhances the taste of the gin.

    2. "I never go jogging, it makes me spill my Martini."—George Burns
