What is a martini?
As we have already mentioned, martini is a type of a popular alcoholic cocktail. It is mostly known for its particular taste and the style of serving. The drink can be prepared from different ingredients. Its base, however, is always either vodka or gin. It should also be mentioned that there exist different varieties of martini. The best-known ones include:
- Dry – the most classic variety of the cocktail, prepared from gin and dry vermouth. A drop of lemon or orange oil can also be added for more intense flavour. It is usually served in a chilled cocktail glass, sometimes with an olive or lemon zest as decoration. The drink will be enjoyed by most fans of dry alcohols;
- Bianco lub Rosso – varieties prepared from vermouth. The former is sweeter and has a subtler taste, the latter, however, is characterized by a stronger aroma. Both can be served in glasses which have been previously chilled or are filled with ice cubes.
How do you serve martini in the right way?
It's important that the cocktail retains the right temperature when it is served. The glasses should, therefore, be chilled before the right amount of the drink is poured into them. Moreover, different decorations can be added, such as olives, lemon zest or limes, or even twisted pieces of orange. The serving of martini is also associated with style and elegance so many people prefer consuming it only in special circumstances. These include evening cocktail parties or outings to fancy restaurants. Being an owner of one or more of such venues you should remember that:
- the glass should not be filled with too much of the drink and space should be left close to the brim. This way, the cocktail won’t spill and the consumption will be more comfortable;
- the glass should not be touched from the outside. Otherwise, the drink will warm up slightly. A designated serving tool should be used, as it will facilitate holding the glass by its stem.
