Martini is a very popular alcoholic beverage. But, despite this, not every lover of this vermouth knows how to drink it correctly. This issue has its own nuances that must be taken into account in order to get the most out of the martini.
This drink is referred to as vermouth, and wine material of red or white grapes is used for its production. It is believed that martini is good as an aperitif before meals. It is often used at events where the main goal is companionship.
Drink glasses
Martini requires specific glasses created for this particular drink. They have a long stem and a tapered shape. If there are none at hand, then you should take low quadrangular glasses. But do not use glasses or glasses - this is considered bad form.
Beverage temperature
Martini is always served chilled. The ideal temperature of the drink is 10-15 C, at which the taste of vermouth is revealed in the best way. If, nevertheless, it happens that the bottle of martini is warm, then do not forget to add a few ice cubes or frozen berries, such as cherries, to the glass.
Drinking rate
Martini does not like to rush, so you should drink it in small and slow sips. Very often, the fair sex uses a straw. However, it is better suited for cocktails than martinis.
Combination with products
Fresh fruits and berries are ideally combined with this drink. Pure martinis are rarely drunk. In this case, olives or lemon wedges should be used as a snack. In many ways, everything will depend on the type of vermouth that you choose for drinking.
Add a couple of ice cubes, a slice of lemon or kiwi, a cherry or strawberry, and a slice of pineapple to the Bianco martini (white). These ingredients soften the alcohol, reducing its strength. For the same purpose, it is good to use a little tonic or soda, which should be diluted with the drink.
Martini Rosso (red) goes well with cherry or orange juice. Alcohol and juice should be diluted in a 2: 1 ratio. By diluting vermouth, it is possible to soften its slightly bitter taste.
Cocktails
If the small strength of the martini does not suit you, then you can prepare a cocktail. At the same time, vermouth is mixed with stronger alcohol. A 4: 1 gin or 2: 1 tequila is ideal for this.
Positive mood for drinking a drink
Without a good mood and a positive inner attitude, drinking a martini will not bring you the pleasure it deserves. Therefore, one should be disposed for fun and celebration. The drink is ideal not only for a romantic evening, but also for a friendly party, especially if it's a bachelorette party.
