Everything you need to know to make a great martini - and sorry Mr Bond, I prefer it stirred.
There are so many versions of The Martini it can be a little daunting, especially when you’re at a crowded bar and you don’t want to spend all your money on a drink you don’t fancy.
So here I unpack some of the mystery of the Martini and help you decide on your favourite way to drink it.

DRY (SAVOURY) MARTINI
For our Dry Martini we’re using Gin.
Tanqueray or Plymouth gins suit both wet or dry, as does Grey Goose if you prefer vodka and all are available in most places in the world, but for my Dry Martini, I can’t go past Gin Mare.
Ingredients:
5ml (1 barspoon/ 1/6oz) Dolin Dry vermouth, chilled in the fridge
60ml (2oz) chilled Gin Mare
An icy cold mixing glass
A chilled Martini glass
And good quality ice.
Garnish with an olive or 3 on a skewer.
Method:
Add vermouth & gin to your chilled mixing glass. Fill mixing glass with ice and stir until you reach your desired dilution.
Strain in to coupe or Martini glass.
And finish with the classic olive(s) on a skewer.
WET MARTINI (WITH A TWIST)
A wet Martini refers to the amount of vermouth used. The more vermouth, the wetter.
Ingredients:
20ml (2/3oz) of chilled vermouth, we used Regal Rogue Lively White - a semi dry white vermouth.
40ml (1 1/3oz) of chilled Vodka, this is Ketel One, perfect for this drink
Some really good ice
A chilled Martini glass
A grapefruit twist to garnish
Method:
Add vermouth & gin to your chilled mixing glass. Fill mixing glass with ice and stir until you reach your desired dilution.
Strain in to coupe or Martini glass.
Take your grapefruit twist and fold it sharply over the glass to express all the citrus oils, adding a flavour punch to your drink.
Curl the twist around itself to give it a nice glass holding shape and pop it into the glass.
So now you know!

Bond had his martinis shaken because back when the books were written vodka was typically 100 proof and not 80 proof like today and Gordon's gin was 47% and not 40% like today. So because it was a much stronger drink he had is shaken to dilute it more than if it was stirred. The more you know

@alexandrebravo4472 3 года назад

the water dilution is the same though so that point is invalid. the texture is different though 🤷‍♂️

@chrisr696 3 года назад

@@alexandrebravo4472 dilution is much higher with a typical shake Vs a typical stir. Shaking breaks ice down, increasing surface area, meaning more dilution.

@dr3754 Год назад

no way. for martini's i strongly prefer in and out. you want to showcase the cold and the gin not the vermouth in a martini, so just a good hint of vermouth. i do like a lot of vermouth in gibson's. of course the pickled onion drowns out the vermouth and gin there. to showcase the vermouth have it on the rocks with a twist or orange slice as a digestif.

@TheWdayton 3 года назад

My take on the martini is a citrus martini: jigger of citrus vodka, a few drops of dry vermouth, an orange slice for garnish lightly squeezed to express both oils and a few drops of juice to sweeten. Very refreshing and friendly enough for beginners.

@Bunny-ch2ul 2 года назад

I've had martinis at some of the best bars in the world, and I make gorgeous ones at home. The shaking versus stirring thing drives me crazy. You *can* shake them. The issue is the size of the ice cubes. If you have little tiny cylindrical ice cubes, like most bars do, you really don't want to shake a martini. It will get very watered down, very quickly. You really need to stir it, and you should stir it until the glass is almost unpleasantly cold to touch. (Most mid tier bars don't stir a martini for nearly long enough. If it's made properly it should smell like almost nothing. If you can smell alcohol it's not cold enough.) At home, you can *totally* shake a martini. Home ice cube trays make ice that's much larger than what an industrial ice machine makes. Those cubes will melt slower, so it's harder to dilute your drink. You can use a cocktail shaker, but fill it at least 2/3 of the way full of ice. Shake until the shaker frosts. Do not reuse any of the ice. It will dilute subsequent drinks. Only make one at a time. Do not double, because it will dilute.

@KoiKoy56 Год назад

I believe the individual should enjoy their beverage in whichever manner they enjoy it most. That said, if I could provide input as far as the science, all high end cocktail bars stir their martinis with proper unchipped ice to achieve maximum chill with minimum dilution. It leaves the martini feeling properly stiff, and with a silky smooth texture. When shaken, the texture of the liquid becomes harsher and more racy, which is typically frowned upon by avid martini drinkers. Vodka can be shaken if you prefer, what gin should never be shaken. When gin is shaken, the ice bruises the gin and tarnishes the delicate botanical notes. A martini is meant to highlight and smoothen/lengthen out the profile of the spirit used, so any flavor lost while bruising the gin makes the beverage counter-intuitive to avid martini drinkers. That said, back to my original point, not everyone is an avid martini drinker! In fact, many people despise the classic taste of a martini, but enjoy slight variations of it! There are certainly people who prefer a muted gin martini with ice shards in it. It can be fun and just the right amount of flavorful if that's what is preferred, so drink it how you like!

@dr3754 Год назад

^ no not alway. shake or stir depends depends on the gin you are using. also, if you are at home and have those giant square ice cubes you can reuse them during your session. just put the shaker back in the freezer until you are ready to make number two 'tini. even if they freeze to the shaker you can bump them apart with a long spoon or they will come apart as you shake.

@KoiKoy56 Год назад

@@dr3754 I mean, what I said is applicable to 100% of gins, but obviously more applicable to some gins than others. That said, no it doesn't matter what gin you use, shaking will always dampen the complexity of the gin. Like I mentioned before though, some people want the flavor profile of a gin to be softened up. Shake or stir is a matter of preference, shake if you want!

Greetings from the Northeast USA, Lovely video Cara, I enjoyed it very much. I’m a big fan of Plymouth Gin, the preferred spirit of Winston Churchill. I recently picked up a bottle of Broker’s London Dry Gin and it has a slightly different nose compared to Plymouth. Here in the US, Gin is one of the fastest growing spirits and there are many different flavor profiles. As for Tanqueray, I mix that with tonic for a G&T. Another good one for Martinis is Hendrick’s Gin with its cucumber flavor, a fine product of Scotland. Thanks for the tip regarding vermouth, I need to toss my bottle and get a fresh 375 ml bottle of Dolin. Cheers!

The citrus flavoured gins can become tiresome, as lovely as they are, but this Gin Mare will never displease! Even used a trio of home pickled olives after a year in brine as the garnish!

Thanks ; ) Hardly ever have a martini, but it is fun to make one. Yes, now I know! Thanks again ..... and I do like Plymouth gin. And olives with anchovies! Wow.. would love to try those, but never seen them in the markets. I'll have to look!

@08Kaylee 3 года назад

If you haven't found anchovy olives yet, The Olive Pit in Corning CA has them and they ship. I am not affiliated with them in any way other than I shop there every year and stock up.

@without a crystal ball sucks I was talking about olives stuffed with anchovies, never seen them. Yes, I will open my eyes and look. But excuse me, you can take that snarky attitude and stick where the sun doesn't shine.

@myrnajay2785 2 года назад

@without a crystal ball sucks Sure! Why don't you go stuff some anchovies! I would've never expected such a crass attitude on BtB. Maybe that's your martinis talking. Anyway enjoy your cocktails....

Original Bombay with an in and out vermouth rinse for me. My favorite bartender at Smith and Wolensky/Boston has a small, vermouth filled, gas propelled atomizer to mist the inside of the glass. Nice. Garnish with 3, blue cheese stuffed olives. God....now I want to drive into Boston.

They’re great hey, not too expensive so you can have them in a bar without worrying about them getting broken, but still really pretty!

Hmm most informative - Just so you know the other day I made a whiskey sour and a wee voice popped into my head, it had a scotish accent and said to me "Prepare your garnish first in advance - so that your not fufing round leting your drink get warm!" I wounder where that came from? :-) thanks again beautiful presentation.

@BehindtheBar 4 года назад

Sooo good! We're actually doing a Whiskey Sour next week, hopefully it's to your liking!!

@SteveAbrahall 4 года назад

@@BehindtheBar I'm sure it wil be much better than mine - I suppose the issue is, with egg white or no? Ah the dilemma of modern life!

@BehindtheBar 4 года назад

For the video we do it with egg white, but it did get me thinking that I should do a video exploring some non egg alternatives.

@xanderalmeida1866 10 месяцев назад

That was lovely. I prefer gin with an expressed lemon twist but the orange bitters makes me happy. Cheers!

At the moment Dry + Dirty (splash of olive juice brine) ... there are a variety of stuffed olives to select from, which makes the taste variations fantastic. All the quality vodkas can be used and lately I've been using Tito's from the fridge. Currently I found olives stuffed with garlic and jalapenos has captivated my favorite card ...

that tats and nose ring make her hotter. cuz she looks and sounds all posh and docile, especially with the dress she's wearing. but then you see her tats and piercing and you realize there's more to her than meets the eye. HOT

Me, personally, I like the vesper martini made with The Botanist gin, Kettel One vodka, and Lillet, with the lemon peel done in the same style that you did with the grapefruit. But I think I see why I like using Kettel One. Thanks for the video.
