Why People Are Fascinated With Martinis
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 glass not only has a seductive look, but the sexy cylinder almost has the appearance of an inverted flaring skirt. The glass by nature seems to create a festive mood ready made for fun.
Unlike other cocktail glasses, they seem to have a unique style that sets them apart. Their distinctive look makes them 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.
Today, there are many cocktail recipes choose from starting with a simple olive to adding delicious tasting chocolate, cherries and citrus fruit of all kinds.
What is the best way to serve a martini? Some like it shaken and others prefer it stirred in a chilled glass. In the past, the drink was served as a mixture of gin and white vermouth.
It is very common for establishments such as bars and restaurants to serve gin martinis with Vermouth Spritzer coated ice cubes. This is an acceptable practice and it saves on the costs of replenishing alcohol while still delivering a great tasting cocktail. More people now prefer vodka to gin.
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.
Most bartenders use stainless steel shakers as the mixing tool of choice. Once all the ingredients are added, the bartender shakes the mixes together and out comes a ready-made martini perfect for any occasion.
Shaken aficionados claim that like scotch, a little water creates a more smoother, rounded taste. They say that the shaking action of the martini shaker adds oxygen to the cocktail drink, which in turn sharpens the taste and distributes the vermouth more evenly.
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.
