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 in 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 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.
