Martini to admire. Probably the most famous cocktail, and indeed the mixed drinks with the most myths, stories, and traditions tied. It is also a cocktail with its own brand Snubbery as follows. You are not here of the two who are usually controversial at Planters Punch.
The basic martini recipe is simple. Traditionally, martinis are made with gin and dry white magic, but recently vodka martini is getting more popular. The modern standard martini is from five parts of gin or vodka to some Vermont, but today's bartender does not follow that model. I shaken the ingredients with ice or stirred and served with cold cocktail glass straight with no ice and decorated with olives.
Martini's purists are angry that vodka is now the choice of alcohol when people order martinis. They insist that it should be called "Vodka Martini". Or if they are really disgusting people 'Bradford & # 39;
The amount of beast to be added is also subject to a large debt. Less vermouth, more dry martini. The most common today is to mix the bell mouth, but there is a mass of ice on the ice of the bell mouth and then throw away the extra lumps. Some progressive bars use Barmouth splitters to coat ice (save a lot of Barmouth).
Shake or stir?
According to the true martini drinker, the martini should always be mixed into the glass as the bell mouth mixes easily and homogeneously with the solvent (gin or vodka). For purists, shake the "hurting" Jin and crush the ice under Martini.
However, thanks to the novel and movie Spy James Bond naming Martinis "shaken without shaking", Martini has been shaken recently.
Speaking of Shakespeare, like Scotch, a little water creates a more rounded taste. They also argue that behavior adds oxygen to drinks, clears the taste, and distributes Vermos more evenly.
History
The generally accepted origin of Martini begins in San Francisco in 1862. A cocktail named after the town of Martinez nearby was eaten at the Occidental Hotel. People used the afternoon ferry to drink at the hotel before arriving at Martinez across the bay. Original cocktail Italian "Martini and Rosso" Sweet Vermouth, Onstrom's Sweet Jin, two Dash Mara Keno Cherry Fluids, One Dash Bitters, Shake, consistent with 2 ounces of lemon twist. By the end of the nineteenth century, the martini transformed into a simpler form. The two dashes of orange bitter were mixed with halved half of dried French Vermont, and half of dry English gin, stirred and olive was added.
However, as a cocktail in the mid-20th century, it was the ease of prohibition and illegal gin production that brought the appearance of martini.
With the abolition of the Prohibition and the preparation of the high quality gin, the drink gradually dried and Vermouth faded.
Although the first mention of vodka used in martini was in the 1950's, the profile of vodka martini in the 1960s was a novel by Ian Fleming and the subsequent movie by James Bond. In the new casino Royale, Bond recipe for his "vespa martini" shook until it was ice with half the size of Gordon's Jin, Russian vodka part, Russian vodka chef, sliced lemon . In the second Bond novel "Live and Let Die", Bond was drinking traditional vodka Martinis.
In the 1970s and 1980s, Martini appeared like old-fashioned and replaced by a more intimate cocktail or wine sprite. However, in the mid 1990's there was a drink revival and a new version explosion. These new martinis can be made by combining fresh fruit juice, cream splash and light colored liqueur.
Instead of traditional olives, cocktail onions, or lemon twists, new garnishes such as marinated capers, fresh herbs, coffee beans or sunlight dried tomatoes are used.
Today, all versions of Martini pass the world as a world cocktail.
