Serving martinis to guests almost invariably turns your party into a hit. Doesn’t a good cocktail drink served in a stylish glass make you feel really good?
The glass not only has a seductive look, but the sexy cylinder almost has the appearance of an inverted flaring skirt. The glass by nature seems to create a festive mood ready made for fun.
Unlike other cocktail glasses, they seem to have a unique style that sets them apart. Their distinctive look makes them the most popular glasses on the internet.
Do you feel like the popular clich image known by most when holding a martini glass served with green olives? Well now you have many choices it seems when it comes to martini cocktails, adding maraschino cherries, lemons, limes, oranges and chocolate to the mix.
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.
Many bars and restaurants today will coat the ice cubes in vermouth or use Vermouth Spritzers to coat the ice to save money. Now most recently gin has been replaced with vodka as the more popular choice and as the picky martini purists would call itthe “Bradford” or “Vodka Martini” as we all know it, was born.
It is very common for establishments such as bars and restaurants to serve gin martinis with Vermouth Spritzer coated ice cubes. This is an acceptable practice and it saves on the costs of replenishing alcohol while still delivering a great tasting cocktail. More people now prefer vodka to gin.
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.
Most bartenders use stainless steel shakers as the mixing tool of choice. Once all the ingredients are added, the bartender shakes the mixes together and out comes a ready-made martini perfect for any occasion.
Shaken aficionados claim that like scotch, a little water creates a more smoother, rounded taste. They say that the shaking action of the martini shaker adds oxygen to the cocktail drink, which in turn sharpens the taste and distributes the vermouth more evenly.
One of the most important things to remember is that when you serve a martini; never let the glass reach room temperature. Keep the glass ice cold and you will be the star at the party.
