Welcome back!
Being served a cocktail in a sexy martini glass does something for the ego. I don’t know what it is, but have you ever noticed when you’re holding a martini glass how special and important you feel?
The sleek, sexy cylinder reaching up to cup a sexy, upside-down skirt-shaped figure tends to almost have a seductive look. And certainly when you hold this pretty lady, you are instantly drawn into a festive party mood.
These stylish glasses are in a unique category of themselves. Not only are they refined with a splash of elegance, but they are also the most popular glasses on the Internet.
Even advertisers realize the debonair look that accommodates a man or woman raising a celebratory toast as a way to get a particular ad message across. It is a common image seen in may magazines that feature stars and the super rich.
Serving a great tasting martini requires a special mixture of ingredients. The most popular way to serve this type of cocktail is with an olive. However, many are now experimenting with chocolate, cherries and even citrus fruit. There are no engraved rules.
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.
Today, most establishments serve martinis with ice cubes coated in Vermouth Spritzer to save on the cost of replenishment. Vodka seems to be replacing the traditional gin as the choice of alcohol as more people are choosing to order vodka martinis.
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.
Martini shakers made of stainless steel; bartenders use them to vigorously mix the ingredients and ice into perfect blend of fine martini that is then strained and served in an ice-cold glass.
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.
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.
