What is "martini"?
Martini is a classic cocktail that has been enjoyed for over a century. It is made with gin and vermouth, a type of fortified wine, and is typically garnished with an olive or a lemon twist. The ingredients are combined in a shaker or stirred together in a mixing glass with ice and then strained into a chilled martini glass. The drink is known for its smooth and sophisticated taste, with the gin providing a botanical and slightly herbal flavor and the vermouth adding a touch of sweetness. Martini can be customized with various flavors, such as a dirty martini with a splash of olive brine or a vodka martini with vodka instead of gin. It is often served as an aperitif before a meal or as a refined and elegant after-dinner drink.
