The martini is more than a
cocktail. It is a classic, a lifestyle, a ritual. And it is
very much in. The truly trendy martini has abandoned its
traditional gin base. The word today is vodka.
Give it a try. You may find
yourself both stirred and shaken.

Glossary
|
|
|
As their name
suggest, bitters are a bitter additive made from dozens,
if not hundreds of herbs, spices and plants. Bitters are
often called for to flavor cocktails. Use bitters in
moderation, as too much can ruin the cocktail.
|
|
A dirty martini has a
little bit of olive brine added to the concoction.
|
|
A Dry Martini is one
with a small amount of vermouth. As more vermouth is
added, the Martini becomes "wetter".
|
|
Pour your ingredients
in to an ice-filled shaker. Don't shake it, "let it
stand" for a minute or so and strain out your
contents.
|
|
Using a wand like
instrument (similar to a mortar in Chemistry) about 6-8
inches long, usually made of wood or glass/porcelain to
crush and mix ingredients in a shaker (e.g. martinis).
|
|
An olive pick is
basically a fancy toothpick used to hold olives.
|
|
A part is NOT a fixed
amount. It refers to the relative amount of an
ingredient. For example, if a recipe calls for 1 part A
and 2 parts B, then the final drink should have twice as
much B as it does A. You can make the drink as big as
you want!
|
|
Many recipes call for
a glass to be "rinsed" with a particular
liqueur. This means that you need to place a small
amount of the liqueur in your glass and swirl it around
so that the inside of the glass is coated evenly. Pour
any extra liqueur out of the glass when you are done.
|
|
Take the contents of
the glass the drink has been mixed in, pour into the
stainless steel cocktail shaker and pour directly back
into the same glass.
|
|
One needs to score a
fresh lemon or lime or orange twist from the whole of a
citrus fruit, ideally 2 to 3 inches long, a beautiful
garnish for a variety of gin or vodka or any number of
liquor based martini presentations. A freshly scored and
twirled twist is the perfect finish.
|
|
When you use a shaker
to mix and cool your ingredients, you are shaking your
drink. The Goal here is to mix and cool your
ingredients.
|
|
Stainless steel or
glass container filled with booze and ice. With the lid
firmly in place, shake the shaker up and down to mix and
cool everything.
|
|
For those of you who
dislike shaking your martinis, you can stir. Basically,
you add your ingredients into an ice filled pitcher of
some sort and stir. The goal here is to mix and chill
your ingredients.
|
|
A Straight Up (or
just Up) drink has no ice. Really the opposite of
"On the Rocks"
|
|
A device that fits
onto the top of a tumbler and allows you to pour the
liquid into a glass, while keeping the ice behind.
|
|
A twist is a garnish
made from the rind of a lemon or lime (usually a lemon).
