How To Impress Your Relatives With A Great Tasting Martini
Being served a cocktail in a sexy martini glass does something for the ego. I don’t know what it is, but have you ever noticed when you’re holding a martini glass how special and important you feel?
The sleek, sexy cylinder reaching up to cup a sexy, upside-down skirt-shaped figure tends to almost have a seductive look. And certainly when you hold this pretty lady, you are instantly drawn into a festive party mood.
These stylish glasses are in a unique category of themselves. Not only are they refined with a splash of elegance, but they are also the most popular glasses on the Internet.
The image of holding a fine martini drink seems to conjure up the same images of the most elite during the 40’s and 50’s when top Hollywood actors considered a fine martini glass as an essential part of their wardrobe.
Today, there are many cocktail recipes choose from starting with a simple olive to adding delicious tasting chocolate, cherries and citrus fruit of all kinds.
What is the best way to serve a martini? Some like it shaken and others prefer it stirred in a chilled glass. In the past, the drink was served as a mixture of gin and white vermouth.
A very chilled martini glass still applies when serving the martini cocktail. Ask any bartender and they will tell you that the colder it is, the more delicious it will taste.
Even though the ingredients seem to be changing as people discover new ways to serve a delicious martini, the manner of serving them in frosty glass will never change. Bartenders admit that the secret to a perfect cocktail is to use a shaker and always keep the glass ice cold.
The martini shaker is a must-have tool to make the best martini cocktail. The martini shaker, usually made of stainless steel, is used to shake vigorously the liquid ingredients (gin or vodka and other ingredients) and ice together, strained and then poured into very chilled martini glasses.
Mixing the ingredients together in a shaker is a great way to blend the ingredients together. However, most bartenders will tell you that vigorously shaking the contents releases oxygen into the cocktail giving it a finer and smoother taste.
The secret to a great martini cocktail is to prevent any warming of any kindand it must be served cold and in a chilled, sexy martini glass.
