Have you ever needed a martini every now and then, and not have the money to go to a expensive bar? Do you know how to make one? Wouldn?t you love to learn and know that you no longer have to leave the comfort of your own home in order to drink a martini?
No need to go to the bar, once you learn how to make them and for cheaper. And perhaps you could even start selling your recipes and make a side income with your new knowledge.
You can buy the shaker and glasses from most stores that sell house hold items. Make sure you keep a good stock for flavors, ice and alcohol. That way you don?t have to worry about not having the ingredients when you want to make them
So what do you need to make that cute little martini that you are dying for? Well you need a few items first. A martini shaker and martini glass are in order for you to make them, along with alcohol.
Don?t forget to ask your guest if they want it Shaken or Stirred? Some like it have it stirred instead of shaken, as they feel that shaken makes it bruised. So be sure to keep that in mind, as you make them.
Try out different types of alcohol and see which ones you prefer. With so many options out their, you may find a brand you like better than the others. Also try to mix flavors together and see where they leads you.
Put the ice in the martini shaker and pour some type vermouth in it. Shake well with ice and pour it into the glass and roll in it the glass to coat it.
Pour gin and whatever you use to flavor them into martini shaker and shake hard to get it mixed and cooled. Pour all of it in martini shaker into the martini glass, including the ice and whatever else you put in it.
Add the extras or garnish you want to add, and enjoy your hard work. You might even host a martini party after you find that perfect martini recipe. After all, one cannot not share a great martini.
Most of all though, you should be able to enjoy your martinis and have fun while making them. Without fun and laughter, they lack a key ingredient to them.
Please drink responsibly when drinking any type of alcohol drinks.
