Recipe Pleeeze
- Thread starter necko
- Start date
try looking up the yearly bartender's competition for award winning recipes.
classic martini, gin and vermouth
basics, always put the vermouth in the shaker first, swirl the ice cubes in to coat (prevents the martini from becoming watery by coating the ice cubes) martini and rossi in the vermouth of choice
pour our the excess vermouth,
then if you are a purist, gin, sapphire is the best.
shake and drain immediately into a cold martini glass and add one olive
olives should be marinated in vermouth, you can get them from italian importers or marinate them yourself

Even zJame Bond must have had a favorite, Mines Bombay or Blue Sapphire very little vermouth ,no olives ,twist of course
I actually used to bartend, and "Perfect Martini" generally meant one of 2 things...
Either a vodka or gin martini,
- ask the client how dry and how many olives or use lemon zest for extra dry martini's
- any courteous/trained bartender always chills the glass for the frosted look before serving.
- despite what mr.bond says, mixed drinks containing only spirits/liquers should generally be stirred - not shaken, to preserve the full flavour
- should generally be stirred or shaken until a thin layer of condensation coats the outside of the shaker. this ensures the martini is appropriately chilled (cuz warm martini's are just gross!)
OR in the rare mis-interpretted case, it alludes to the same recipe as a "Perfect Manhattan", meaning instead of adding strictly dry vermouth, they want a 50/50 split of sweet vermouth added to their vodka/gin
as for cocktail recipes, there's tons... just have a few martini's yourself then get creative with mixing stuff from the liqour store! =D

The perfect Martini
Put the glass in the freezer for half an hour at least.
You should keep the gin in the freezer at all times. Bombay Saphire has a unique flavour but Gordon's, Gilbey's or Tanqueray are all good, too.
Pour 2.5 ounces of gin in the glass (it has this nice syrupy look).
Add vermouth but use only half a capful of vermouth.
Add a twist of lemon.
Swirl the twist very lightly.
That's it.
Very, very dry and sinful as hell.
