So last Friday was National Martini Day and I do love a martini - it's the benchmark drink by which we measure the quality of a bar. It's such a delicate drink and I think one that many people are put off from making at home. But see my tutorial on the link below - it's easy peasy.
If you're a gin lover then just swap in your favourite for the brilliant Ramsbury Estate Vodka that I used - same proportions, you won't be disappointed.
Technically there are only two ingredients in a martini, dry white vermouth and either gin or vodka in the proportions of your choice. The less vermouth the drier the martini. The drink should then be garnished with either an olive or a piece of lemon peel.
There is another secret ingredient however and that is 'cold'. Both bottles should be chilled (the spirit ideally from the freezer) stirred in a chilled container and served into a very cold glass.
For great home made cocktails cold is your friend.
Cheers!
