My Martini cocktail recipe:
- - 5.5cl (five parts) of Noilly Prat Dry (a MUST)
- 1cl (one part) of a premium dry gin
The Classic Martini is made by stirring(!) the ingredients together and straining into a chilled Martini glass – whereas the Wodka Martini which uses half a shot of Noilly Prat Dry, 2 shots of premium wodka and is shaked or stirred together before serving.
Surprisingly this slight changes will change the flavour of the cocktail. Although it started with some olives as a garnish, I add sometimes onions or citron strips (very light use). In case of the olives, the taste distracts from the taste of straight gin and vermouth.
This is the ultimate in Aperitif cocktails for the style conscious.
