Ah, the Martini.How to make a martini

A cocktail that’s been a staple of American cocktail culture—from the smoky speakeasy days of prohibition to the legendary 3-Martini business lunches of the 50’s and 60’s.

No other cocktail is so well known, yet wrapped in such mystery.

It’s not hard to learn how to make a Martini. The basic components are clear enough: gin and dry vermouth, chilled and served up on a stem with an olive or a twist.

But there are a few things about this cocktail that continue to be debated even 150 years after its invention:

  • Vodka or gin?
  • How much vermouth to use, if any at all?
  • Shaken vs. stirred?
  • And just where did it actually get invented?

In this video I talk about how to make a Martini and about the murky origins of this classic cocktail.

If you enjoyed the video, please hit “like” and let me know in the comments if you end up giving the recipe a try. Cheers!
