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.
How would you like your martini served? Stirred or shaken? Traditionally the martini started as a gin and dry white vermouth mixture shaken or stirred together with ice, strained and then served “straight up”, without ice in a very chilled martini glass and the less vermouth, the drier the martini.
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.
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.
The trick they say is to use the martini shaker. What is a martini shaker you ask? Well if you have to ask, you haven’t had a good shaking yet!
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.
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.
