Nothing says you have arrived than drinking a fine martini? Have you every noticed how wonderful you feel when you are drinking one with your friends or business colleagues?

The sleek, sexy cylinder reaching up to cup a sexy, upside-down skirt-shaped figure tends to almost have a seductive look. And certainly when you hold this pretty lady, you are instantly drawn into a festive party 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.

Do you feel like the popular clich image known by most when holding a martini glass served with green olives? Well now you have many choices it seems when it comes to martini cocktails, adding maraschino cherries, lemons, limes, oranges and chocolate to the mix.

How would you like your martini served? Stirred or shaken? Traditionally the martini started as a gin and dry white vermouth mixture shaken or stirred together with ice, strained and then served “straight up”, without ice in a very chilled martini glass and the less vermouth, the drier the martini.

Many bars and restaurants today will coat the ice cubes in vermouth or use Vermouth Spritzers to coat the ice to save money. Now most recently gin has been replaced with vodka as the more popular choice and as the picky martini purists would call itthe “Bradford” or “Vodka Martini” as we all know it, was born.

Today, most establishments serve martinis with ice cubes coated in Vermouth Spritzer to save on the cost of replenishment. Vodka seems to be replacing the traditional gin as the choice of alcohol as more people are choosing to order vodka martinis.

The trick they say is to use the martini shaker. What is a martini shaker you ask? Well if you have to ask, you haven’t had a good shaking yet!

Most bartenders use stainless steel shakers as the mixing tool of choice. Once all the ingredients are added, the bartender shakes the mixes together and out comes a ready-made martini perfect for any occasion.

Bartenders claim that by vigorously shaking the mix together, oxygen is added to the drink causing it to taste sharper and more refined. This is also how vermouth is evenly blended into the drink giving you a fine martini.

One of the most important things to remember is that when you serve a martini; never let the glass reach room temperature. Keep the glass ice cold and you will be the star at the party.
