In today’s video we’re mixing up a martini! This is a cocktail most everyone is familiar with, and many are particular when it comes to how their martinis are made. The classic martini is a fairly simple build, but the preferred ratios have changed over the years. If you like vermouth, you may like a “wet” martini - which is what we’re making today. Of course, feel free to adjust the ratios to your liking. The martini is all about finding the balance that works best for you. Enjoy your martinis, everyone - Cheers!

What are your preferred ratios: 1:1, 4:1, 873:1? 🍸

@taylorjacoby7639 Год назад

I like to rinse the glass with vermouth.

@SurlyCommuter Год назад

5:1 - My favorite is from David Kaplan in Cocktail Codex - 2 1/2 gin, 1/4 Blanc vermouth, 1/4 dry vermouth, orange bitters - finished with lemon

@MBblink182 Год назад

873:1 vermouth to gin

@johnnyringo3171 Год назад

I pour 1/2 oz. of dry vermouth into the mixing glass, add ice and stir, then pour most of it out. I then add the gin, stir, and strain into the chilled glass. Not sure of the ratio, but it works for me!

@jaybrasket3830 Год назад

Depends on the gin for me. Something strong like The Botanist, probably 2:1 or 3:1. Something delicate like Ki No Bi, 5:1 or 6:1.

@bp3986 Год назад

I also like a wet martini and used to make them in a 50/50 ratio. But I decided to cut back on the vermouth slightly and started going with a 60/40 split. I described this shift to my financial planner wife one evening, and she immediately likened the 60/40 ratio to stocks and bonds - and we’ve called my 60/40 martini a “Balanced Portfolio” ever since! 😊

@AndersErickson Год назад

Love this 🍸

@brokenrecord3523 Год назад

This needs to catch on!

@markmcvicar2654 Год назад

That is a great name!

@4everyoung24 Год назад

That’s a great name!

@CBDuRietz Год назад

In that case, an 80/20 ratio would be a "Pareto Martini"? 🙂

@lxxwj Год назад

i thought the idea of an equal parts martini was silly until i tried it, now its my favorite

@katyafaucher4468 6 месяцев назад

I’d love to know more about selecting the right fin for dirty martinis. Thanks a bunch, cheers.

@TheDougOfTheNorth Год назад

Without a doubt, the most argued recipe I've ever dealt with in cocktail making. After endless research, I happily ended up at a 2.5:1 ratio, with all other versions feeding off of that. Thanks for another enjoyable vid, Anders. Cheers ✌

@d.a.2351 2 месяца назад

Anders, I did it! Made my first martini and it was truly an unexpected treat. I am a classic rye manhattan drinker and decided that for a change I wanted another simple, classic cocktail as a go-to. Thank you for removing the mystique and providing a very "martini esque" recipe-Neat, Clean Simple, and delicious.

@GreenGardenGamer Год назад

So i've been wanting to get into home bartending when hosting. i stumbled upon your channel and instantly went down the rabbit hole of content! My wife and I hosted our first party after moving and while I am/was confident on the cooking side of things, you and your channel really helped me be more confident behind the bar. Still a lot to learn and absorb, but just wanted to say thank you (and Leandro) for being a part of the party and making things more accessible at home :)

@anastasiakoulis6075 11 месяцев назад

Just discovered your channel and am addicted! Made this recipe last night and loved your ratio of vermouth to gin! Also inspired me to add a mixing glass and strainer to my home bar kit. Cheers to you both for a fun and informative channel 🍸

@tonydell362 Год назад

Perfect, Anders! You’re the go to RU-vid mixologist for me. Dolin is my choice as well, and love to pair it with Plymouth gin. Have also recently started to include a dash of orange bitters. Agree that the size of the drink - as with all ‘up’ cocktails - is crucial. I remember that ridiculous trend in the 90s of serving them in seven ounce fishbowls.

@seanoconnor666 Год назад

Been looking forward to this video ever since you teased us of your martini ratios on the “how to shop for a bar on a budget” video. Looking forward to when you go over the vesper and dirty martinis in the future, keep up the great work!

@clairevalant6594 Год назад

Made my first ever martini last night and just saw this vid this morning so I will have to try again :) I also made a small one and halved the recipe so I appreciate your measurements!!

@dustums Год назад

Yay, Anders! You did 2:1. When I make martinis for my friends, they are in the 3:1 crowd, but I make mine 2:1 cause I like vermouth. Now the next time we are doing cocktails, I'll be able to drop "Well, Anders agrees with me."

@AndersErickson Год назад

Hahaha yep - I agree with you, Dusty. Cheers!

@Heykatierose Год назад

I agree with you, too!

@BigBadJerryRogers Год назад

The 3:1 measurement should be the standard everywhere unless you specify you want 2:1. So if I order a martini in a restaurant and it's not 3:1 I would be offended.

@williambias3630 Год назад

Anders, I subbed to you early on when COVID started - I really like the direction ur channel is going. History, context, controversy, and entertainment!

@yodrewtube Год назад

Amen to itty-bitty martinis, No go to ‘big warm martini’. This is why I love making martinis or cocktails at home. I’m finding more and more that the general bar (emphasis on general) do not know how to make martinis or cocktails for that matter. Thank you so so much for sharing your knowledge… I can’t begin to express my gratitude!

@facundofernandez4676 Год назад

I loved the music on this one, and the cocktail looks amazing. Thanks as always.

@joshuaspence3926 Год назад

Well done! Love the history and craftsmanship of the cocktails.

@onetallfello Год назад

What perfect timing! I picked up my first bottle of vermouth just a couple days ago, and I'm looking forward to playing around with it this weekend.

@Josh_Stringer Год назад

your construction of the martini is exactly the way I prefer it. Awesome video!

@danipro877 Год назад

So good! Please give us some more about martinis and also different vermouth drinks. Just discovered vermouth and looking for ways to use it the best way possible 🙌

@rmTheWalrus Год назад

I used to not like martinis. But I have a bottle of cask finished gin from a local distiller that’s (to my nose) ultra-floral. Making this recipe, with that gin, knocked my socks of with how good it was. I was stunned.

@JermaineAuNatural Год назад

Excellent video! Always appreciate the history behind the drinks

Good Day Sir, Thank You for the Sips and Tips!!! it inspires me a lot!!!

Thank you so much for this tutorial! Been looking forward to it.❤

@WhaJMc Год назад

Usually do 3:1, Plymouth gin with Dolin. Mine is usually a Gibson, garnished with cocktail onions and I make my wife a Martini with olives. However today is my birthday, so instead of making a Martini, I'll be putting some glasses in the freezer and sharing this video with my family.🥳🍸

@brokenrecord3523 Год назад

On the nose! 3:1 and an onion.

@Mark-zu6oz Год назад

I like Tipsy Onions (with a tiny bit of the liquid) for Gibsons.

@Smarod Год назад

Happy birthday!

@oscarsnr Год назад

“Make mine a Gibson”. What excellent taste you have, sir!

@ramencurry6672 Год назад

If you’re adventurous or bored you can add a sprig of fresh rosemary to make it slightly herbal. And it can also look nice too since some high end bars add it to cocktails. Also easy to have a rosemary plant in the backyard for future recipes.

@vicentemoraga2086 Год назад

We’ve been waiting this video for so long, thank you

@AndersErickson Год назад

Cheers!

@dimitarapostolov9788 Год назад

Finally! Been waiting for this episode for so long and it didn't disappoint! Instant classic! My take away is your brilliant quote "I would rather have a second small cold martini than a large warm martini" - 👌 Cheers Anders and Az, have a wonderful weekend! 🥂🍸

@AndersErickson Год назад

Cheers Dimitar - enjoy your weekend too!

@katarinajanoskova Год назад

I have been 'arguing' with few idiots online recently who complain their glasses 'aren't full' when they order drinks at a bar. And so they feel cheated. Sorry, just had to get this of my chest. Because, warm martini.

@charlesolson9019 Год назад

Of course, if you're paying $12 a whack for them at a bar, the equation changes somewhat.

@aliciaholborn6748 Год назад

@Charles Olsen, I wish it was just $12 instead of $18. Cheers 🥂

@baloneyandfunk5234 Год назад

@@aliciaholborn6748 Just in Boston and $22 each :(

@IanLoughead Год назад

Thanks for this one. The orange bitters were just perfect. And that ratio is great, made a super smooth martini. Not my favorite drink but certain much more palatable now.

@bludelight Год назад

1. Your fresh cut looks good, my guy. 2. Thank you for explaining what a wet martini is. I've wondered... though clearly not enough to look it up. 3. I'm realizing you've given me enough reason/recipes to purchase a bottle of vermouth. Cheers.

@ruggerocorcagnani1590 Год назад

Great video! Personally I prefer these kind of videos, where you talk about 1 single cocktail, going in detail and talking a bit about the history as well. Also like a lot the booze tasting, like those you did on rum and mezcal. Hope too see more of these 2 types! Cheers!!

@thandototo9092 Год назад

Prior to this I was not a fan of Martinis but this is my new favourite cocktail to make at home.

@mitchsoja9948 Год назад

Interesting idea using both a lemon twist and an olive. The martini that I make for myself is 1:1:1 gin, and sweet and dry vermouths. It's inspired by one featured in the Educated Barfly's martini episode. Love the channel, keep up the excellent work Anders!

@TravellerRDS Год назад

The 2:1:1 Perfect Martini is also an excellent cocktail, worth trying!

@joeblow9657 Год назад

Hurrah we finally covered it. Looking forward to dirty and perfect martinis. Loved the jazz outro too

@kendallmallon1763 Год назад

I like to add a dash of grapefruit bitters -- especially in the warmer months for a bit of extra citrus pop

@AndersErickson Год назад

Good call!

@stuartbooth1949 Месяц назад

I can help you with the James Bond reference, and why it's unique: "Vodka Martini, twist of lemon, crushed ice, shaken not stirred". Clearly, this doesn't make the best martini, but that's because Bond didn't want the best martini. What he wanted was to have the weakest martini possible so he could keep his wits and mislead his opponents watching. The crushed ice is used to dilute the drink the most. It has to be shaken to increase the dilution. But gin cannot be used as when shaken it will go cloudy, which would be a giveaway that something was wrong with the drink. So he switched in vodka which does not go cloudy (as much).

@Mikeandcris91 Год назад

Also would like to add. 1) Thank you for your videos...they're excellent! 2) Thanks for finally tackling the martini and hope you cover more history and variations (like the Vesper or even the Aviator.) and 3) for an idea, how about throwback cocktails from the 60's and 70's that have disappeared (probably for good reason) like the Harvey Wallbanger, Grasshopper, ...and later Skip and Go Naked or Screaming O.

@Patronux Год назад

I'm pretty sure Anders already covered both the Vesper and the Aviator :)

@Asta_Zoldyck Год назад

Yay!!!! I've been waiting years for this!!!

@mrbrown1366 Год назад

Awesome Video Anders. The Martini is my favourite cocktail and you nailed it! I typically like it perfect with a fresh bottle of vermouth.. but had it wet today Tanqueray 10 and Dolin.. 👌top class.. had to have a second! Thanks for an awesome channel..

@davidn3971 Год назад

Great video. Haven't had one of these for a while. A classic cocktail that you can tailor to your own taste. I prefer gin and mixed 4 parts gin to 1 vermouth. I always shake. Never tried stirred so perhaps I'll give that a go soon. Cin cin 🍸

@cuttlefishrampant5241 Год назад

A neat prohibition era recipe for the martini (passed down from my great-grandfather who was an influential boston lawyer who happened to make bathtub gin) was a 4:1 martini with a barspoon of sweet vermouth floated on top because the bathtub gin wasn't very good and needed some masking.

@janlee6395 Год назад

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I have been waiting for this since you started.

Hey Anders, I just tried three dashes of orange bitters in my martini. Quite revelatory! Thanks. I will always use this from here on. Thanks again!

@nancycampbell7959 Год назад

LOVE the graphics! Very zingy and professional. My parents were party people, and slept in late Saturday and Sunday mornings. My hungry brother and I scoured the living room for stray peanuts, chip crumbs, air temp dips and uneaten olives in the bottom of cocktail glasses. If there was gin melt water, we drank it. Can't even take the smell of a martini to this day. But enjoyed the tutorial anyway :) Very interesting.

@leslyogden Год назад

My current favorite is a dirty martini with Bertha's Revenge Small Batch Irish Milk Gin. I use 2.5 oz gin, 0.25 oz dry vermouth, 0.25 oz olive brine, lemon oil and olive garnish (stirred and served up). The cumin in the gin works really well with the saltiness of the brine. I may increase the vermouth to see how the flavor changes but right now it's a solid drink for me and my partner!

@gyangearon8729 Год назад

I watched your video on the 'perfect martini' a long time ago. That is now my favorite version. While traveling I hit the hotel bar and had a fun convo with the bartender. I asked for a perfect martini, and they stopped, looked at me, looked around for the ingredients "yea I can do that, nice I haven't been asked for one of those in a very long time."

@djbelc01 Год назад

Lately I've been on a martini kick. I've been doing a 2:1 ratio using Ford's gin and Dolin vermouth, with a couple dashes of orange bitters, and depending on my mood either a lemon twist (and I rub the lemon peel all around the glass before sticking it on the rim at the end), or a couple olives. I haven't tried garnishing with both olive and lemon, but now I am intrigued...

@deadgolfer6345 Год назад

I was doing Ford's / Dolin for a while - while I had that bottle of Ford's anyway. Because a lot of people seem to recommend Ford's. And it was good. But a buddy of mine who really likes Gin came over and brought Hendrick's, another version of Hendrick's and Nolet's. Kinda weird to bring that much Gin now that I think of it. Anwyay, in a head to head taste test, I found Ford's to be a little harsh compared to the others. I like a Hendrick's / Noilly Prat now. Just something you might want to try . . . And I am also going to try lemon + olive. Kinda thought it should be one or the other.

@Darruus Год назад

Funny you mention the tiny martini. There’s this one bar in my city that makes a full martini, pours roughly half of it into a small martini glass and the rest into a carafe that they put on ice. So you drink your tiny martini then when you’re ready, you’ve got another ice cold one ready to go.

@mybartender Год назад

Thank you for shedding light on the Martini and providing a comprehensive guide to creating this timeless and iconic cocktail. Cheers to enjoying the perfect Martini, tailored to our own preferences and savored in style!

@jessehorning4368 Год назад

Would love to see another martini themed video with variations, e.g. blanc vermouth, gin + vermouth pairings you like, or improved recipes with a 3rd component (Benedictine, etc). Definitely a diplomatic approach. Great video as always.

@AndersErickson Год назад

Great idea

@kellenholt6655 Год назад

Agreed on this - When you lead in with all the different ratios, I was hoping there would be some compare and contrast between the different recipes. I'm also a big believer that which gin you put in a (gin) martini can have a pronounced effect on the final drink, mostly because there are so few ingredients in one, so a comparison of different gins (i.e something like Hendricks vs a true london dry gin) would have been interesting as well.

@jeffcsMN Год назад

The Martini is hands down my favorite cocktail. I prefer a London dry gin (Plymouth is my fave). Extra dry, up with a twist. Perfection. Cheers!

@jenrich796 Год назад

Add ice and Leonce Vermouth to shaker. Shake and then strain out liquid. Add Gin (Isle of Harris) and celery bitters to the ice. Stir and strain into glass. Lemon twist and if I want more savory elements, I add homemade pickle brine.

@donthompsonrealtor3294 11 месяцев назад

Thanks!! One of my recipes: 2oz Gin (today Plymouth) 1 dash of Peychaud’s bitters (from a large bottle) 1/4 ts Campari 1oz Dolin’s vermouth (a sloppy pour/ over pour) 1/2 oz castelvetrano olive brim All poured over crushed ice stirred 20 sec. Strained into a coupe/ allowing a few pieces ice to fall into the glass. Love the sound of ice hitting thin crystals Garnished with sun flower blossom and olive. Something, something… time to make another!! So, dirty and wet 😊😊

@smitty7592 Год назад

Touching on different gins might have helped for those that don’t know a lot about it. London Dry is the best to start with. I find American gin to be all over the map in terms of flavor profile, and some can really clash with the end product you are trying to create. I love the idea of increasing the vermouth ratio and the lemon twist.

@1983barak Год назад

I've always found the martini a hard cocktail to drink due to the high ABV, so I kinda avoided it. I was making it the same way as Anders made it, using a dry vermouth, as called by the original recipe. Lately I stumbled upon a video by Cara Devine from Behind The Bar, and she made a Vodka Martini using vodka and a white vermouth plus a few dashes of orange bitters. It was a game changer, as it made the drink to be more on the wetter side. That's maybe not the best way to make it, but it made me change my mind about this drink and it seems like I now finally live in peace with it 😊

@nickmann96 Год назад

Always fascinated by how Anders vibe changes depending on if he wears a hat or not

@Dominikmj Год назад

I was a bit afraid - but Anders did an excellent job for the Martini Cocktail. I would prefer it in-and-out. I think the cocktail is more unique like that and has a very distinct texture and effect, what it doesn’t get when it is wetter. But these are preferences. Also: great idea to use orange bitters. If you ever make a slightly wetter Martini cocktail, always use orange bitters (the in and out version simply doesn’t need the bitters - strangely enough). Great job!

@johnnysimes5082 Год назад

Great coverage of all the bases. The martini is one of the most personal cocktails. Every flavor is right out there, nowhere to hide, so different proportions or different brands have an enormous difference in flavor. The best martini is the one you make for yourself after trying dozens of combinations. Other people's martinis...stink. Happy hunting. Cheers!

@tbobtbob330 Год назад

A shaken martini has a thin layer of ice shards on top, which has a really nice mouth feel. My drink is an extra-dry Hendricks martini, straight up with a lemon twist.

@tomdeakins7339 Год назад

I was literally searching for this on your channel yesterday.

@johnp3971 Год назад

I can't believe I never saw the glass in the bear's nose. Brilliant!

@charlieweinstock2136 Год назад

When I was young if I used vermouth it was just to rinse out the glass and return the remainder to the bottle. As an old guy I've "discovered" vermouth and now drink drys and sweets by themselves. IF I make a martini it's 3 or 4 to 1. But I still drink straight or pink gin rocks out of laziness. Love your channel. I'll try the dash of orange bitters soon.

@ramencurry6672 Год назад

An important video since many people in the 1970s, 80s and 90s were never exposed to quality cocktails after they went out of style from the mid 20th century. Great to see them becoming popular again in the 21st century

@ericcioffi7309 Год назад

Awesome as usual. Would love to see you make and compare the different styles. Shaken vs stirred. Vodka vs Gin. Different ratios, etc.

@ericcioffi7309 Год назад

@1betterthanyou1 Well it started with the Martinez made with Old Tom Gin and sweet vermouth, evolved to dry gin, then evolved further to include vodka. Starting in the 1950's the Vodka Martini has been around for 8 decades. But if you prefer gin, you do you. Cheers!

@AG-lo4nq Год назад

My father-in-law liked his martinis extra, extra dry. He would stir the gin and ice, spritz the inside of the glass with one pump of dry vermouth, then pour in the chilled gin. He was a Tanqueray man and he taught me to love this classic cocktail. Great video, I can't wait to try adding the orange bitters.

@frederickheard2022 Год назад

That is very close to my build for a martini. I like Brokers gin 2:1 or 2:1.5 with Noilly Prat and a dash of grapefruit bitters. Stirred nicely, serve up with expressed lemon oil and two olives. Elegant, simple and delicious. It is liquid modernism. Cheers.

@benm8605 Год назад

Great video! Love the detailed dive into one drink. For the dirty martini vid, consider making your own blue-cheese-stuffed olives. Once I learned that trick, nothing compares :) Also, my grandparents used to love vodka martinis and for garnish would do one cocktail onion along with one olive plus lemon twist. Learned to make those for them as a kid :)

@user-sv5pf3zm4t Год назад

This are the best martini video on youtube!

@sbultitude-paull303 4 месяца назад

The way I was taught (and this goes back to 2001 before the modern cocktail craze) was to essentially pour a little vermouth into a chilled martini glass, swirl it around the glass and tip it out. Then pour in the stirred/shaken spirit and garnish. Can't say I've experimented with wet martinis but I'll definitely give this recipe a shot.

@markbeck8384 Год назад

I like gin, but I also like vermouth.. so I think the 2:1 works. Your idea of small Martini's so they stay cold is a good idea. I have never tried the orange bitters of the whiff of lemon, but i will try that now. i really enjoy your presentations, so...: thanks.

@anscad Год назад

Oh wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! That is the best martini I have ever tasted! So good I made a second one. WOW! Thanks man! Adding this to my list.

@bertman4 Год назад

When I bartended in college at a restaurant bar, we always had in addition to twist and olive, pickled mushrooms, and pickled onions. My preference was the mushroom. As for dry, we had patrons asking for super duper dry. Which meant a dash of vermouth in the glass, swirl, and dump out. The rest was all gin. Those folks usually asked for a twist IIRC.

@jcrovelli Год назад

This is my first time seeing the new intro and I'm a fan!

@AugmentedMartini Год назад

I remember being made fun of for making a martini too wet using way less vermouth than you. Nice to see classic recipe making a comeback.

@brocklanders6172 Год назад

Beefeater gin, a half shot of dry vermoth, stirred, served in a cold up glass (no ice) and garnished with a blue cheese stuffed olive. Heaven.

@christinecamley Год назад

Oh do I love Martinis and in moderation of course!! 6:1!! That's my preference with a London Dry Gin, very Juniper forward! Stirred, never shaken and 2 dashes of orange bitters! I also love a lemon garnish. I use what I can get here for Vermouth and usually it's Noilly Prat Dry Vermouth or a beautiful Esquimalt Dry Vermouth - made locally!! I adore the small Martini like you have made here Anders! This amazing cocktail stays bracingly cold made this way and a Martini must be bracingly cold!! Once in awhile I like a Martini on the rocks but usually I like the Martini up in a glass similar to what you are using here!! Fabulous video! Cheers!! 🙂

@sonnythorelli5402 Год назад

I do agree a shaken Martini is a different drink, but I see this more crispy (bubbles and chilliness). I do my Martine shaken on a twist because of this, not because I’m generation of Bond, who use olives. But to night I do Anders’s version.

The wet/dry distinction has always intrigued me. There was a poll on Reddit not long ago about what ratio constitutes dry v. wet and the responses were all over the place. Lesson learned - when ordering in a bar, tell them the exact ratios you want, not "I'll have a wet Martini please"

I used to be a vodka dirty martini very dry, because that was what my parents drank. Over time, we have preferred gin martinis, and only recently when playing with ratios, I've been liking wetter martinis (2 parts gin, 1 part dry vermouth). But I still prefer them dirty, I love olives. I want to try out different stuffed olives in the near future beyond just normal and blue cheese.

I highly recommend “the perfect martini” 1/2 oz dry vermouth , 1/2 oz sweet vermouth, and 2 oz of London dry. I do mine stirred, straight up with a lemon twist. Fantastic

Oh he has a whole video on this. Complete with a fun tale about how it got brought to his attention.

Fascinating how recipes change. Back at the turn of the century in London, we would add a shot of vermouth to the ice, stir and then pour off just leaving a tiny coating on the ice for stirring in the gin. So maybe a 98/2 ratio
