A martini is more than a drink. It is recognition by the
spirit that it is time to relax and socialize with good friends. It expresses
an attitude. In order to interface successfully with the emotional context, it
is essential that a martini be made correctly. A poor martini is a wet blanket at any party.
Put your martini glasses in the freezer. In your metal
martini shaker add numerous ice cubes. Make sure they are not ice chips, or
you'll have a watered-down drink. Put the shaker with the cubes in the freezer
after adding a five-star gin such as Tanqueray 10, Bombay Sapphire, or
Hendricks. When the glasses are frosted, and the liquid is ice cold, add a
little bit of vermouth and poor in your frosted glass. Don't use too much vermouth.
Some people don't like any vermouth. Add three olives or a cocktail onion on a toothpick. The
olives should be of high quality and very tasty.
If the martini is made correctly, there will be small chips
of ice floating on the surface. You can gauge the success of your drink by the
width of the smile on the face of your guests.
