How to make a MARTINI - let's finally talk about it
Рет қаралды 400,082
Күн бұрынIn today’s video we’re mixing up a martini! This is a cocktail most everyone is familiar with, and many are particular when it comes to how their martinis are made. The classic martini is a fairly simple build, but the preferred ratios have changed over the years. If you like vermouth, you may like a “wet” martini - which is what we’re making today. Of course, feel free to adjust the ratios to your liking. The martini is all about finding the balance that works best for you. Enjoy your martinis, everyone - Cheers!

I pour 1/2 oz. of dry vermouth into the mixing glass, add ice and stir, then pour most of it out. I then add the gin, stir, and strain into the chilled glass. Not sure of the ratio, but it works for me!

I also like a wet martini and used to make them in a 50/50 ratio. But I decided to cut back on the vermouth slightly and started going with a 60/40 split. I described this shift to my financial planner wife one evening, and she immediately likened the 60/40 ratio to stocks and bonds - and we’ve called my 60/40 martini a “Balanced Portfolio” ever since! 😊

Anders, you are a national/Chicago treasure -- so informative but acknowledging your preferences and other options. And entertaining to boot. I realize I am coming to you late. Speaking of preferences, for martinis I like Boissiere Dry Vermouth -- a cap full with Tanqueray. So a little this side of dry -- not traditional wet but not just a martini glass of booze. And while I stir my Old Fashioneds and Manhattans, I shake the shit out of my martinis.

James Bond wanted a shaken martini bc it dilutes the drink like you said… but more specifically it was bc he was working and had to be aware of his surroundings but at the same time he needed to blend into the crowd. If he wasn’t drinking he would have looked suspicious so shaken to dilute it and he sipped it while he did business! Someone told me that story when learning about martinis and I always loved it.

@martinstraus315 4 ай бұрын
Your first comment I agree with. Ian Fleming was a cocktail aficionado and would have known that stirring was preferable. It's therefore logical that Bond deliberately went for the additional dilution. The Vesper MartinI also calls for a mix of gin & vodka, resulting in a lighter taste but not as devoid of flavour as 100% vodka would be. 7:28
@pappamack6113 Ай бұрын
I had read that Ian Fleming wanted to show that his character James Bond was cold and brutal. Ian Fleming knew what a good Martini was and stirring the Martini was to avoid "bruising the gin" A vodka Martini was "tasteless" and odorless as well. I prefer my Martini with both sweet and dry vermouth and a teaspoon of olive brine with a good London dry gin.

I use a few drops and half an ounce of dry vermouth to taint the ice. I put ice in a shaker, add the bitters and vermouth, then strain the liquid into the sink. Then, I put 2-3 ounces of gin in the shaker, stir, and strain into a chilled glass. I usually use two to three olives. I like double-stuffed garlic and jalapeño olives. Winston Churchill likes gin. Mine is actually a Martini.

Well “Ah”nders…you blew my mind. I definitely believe more vermouth than the classic recipe is key. But bitters?!? Lemon and olive?!? What the heck? I’ll give it a go…1.5oz Wild Roots gin, 1/3oz Dolin dry vermouth (4.5:1 ratio), 1 dash Bitter Housewife cardamom bitters, 1 peel lemon expressed, 1 martini olive…mind blown! Simple and classic with complex depth. Didn’t think you could do that. Proof again (pun intended) you are the true classic modern mixologist of our time.

Agreed on this - When you lead in with all the different ratios, I was hoping there would be some compare and contrast between the different recipes. I'm also a big believer that which gin you put in a (gin) martini can have a pronounced effect on the final drink, mostly because there are so few ingredients in one, so a comparison of different gins (i.e something like Hendricks vs a true london dry gin) would have been interesting as well.

I adore the small Martini like you have made here Anders! This amazing cocktail stays bracingly cold made this way and a Martini must be bracingly cold!!
