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?
There is something special about the shape of a martini glass. A quick glance at one and you would almost think it has a slightly seductive appearance. Heck, even the glass itself seems to suggest a festive mood.
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.
Serving a great tasting martini requires a special mixture of ingredients. The most popular way to serve this type of cocktail is with an olive. However, many are now experimenting with chocolate, cherries and even citrus fruit. There are no engraved rules.
How should a martini be served? It all depends on your preference. They are usually served stirred in a chilled glass or shaken with a nice blend 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.
Martini shakers made of stainless steel; bartenders use them to vigorously mix the ingredients and ice into perfect blend of fine martini that is then strained and served in an ice-cold glass.
Mixing the ingredients together in a shaker is a great way to blend the ingredients together. However, most bartenders will tell you that vigorously shaking the contents releases oxygen into the cocktail giving it a finer and smoother taste.
The secret to a great martini cocktail is to prevent any warming of any kindand it must be served cold and in a chilled, sexy martini glass.
