Why does a drink sometimes be called a "martini" by some people?
When Americans were drinking more alcohol in the 1900s, they called every drink that contained alcohol "martini". The term "martini" eventually came to refer to a special type of martini that was made with dry rather than sweet Vermouth.
Statistics
- The tequila should be 100 percent agave, not the cheaper “mixto” products, which blend a minimum of 51 percent agave with other sugars. (cooking.nytimes.com)
- American blended whiskeys are so inexpensive because they only have to contain 20 percent whiskey; the rest can be made up of neutral grain spirits, colorings, and flavorings. (mashed.com)
- You can simply follow the rule of thumb: $1/beer or wine, $2/ cocktail, and 10-20% for large tabs. (alembicbar.com)
- According to a post on Quora, the average bartender can make upward of 140 drinks per hour. (gloworder.com)

How To
How do you make a great martini?
A martini is made with gin, vermouth, and ice. Before mixing the ingredients, it is important to thoroughly combine them. It is usually served in a chilled glass. It should be enjoyed straight up. Mixing it can ruin the flavor.
Two olives are the most common way to serve martinis. You can also add olive brine to the rim of your glass if you want to make your drink more flavorful.
Although you can use any type or alcohol, it is better to use 100%-grain alcohol such as Vodka or Gin. This gives the cocktail a smoother texture. There are many varieties of vermouths, but we recommend using one without added sugar. Too much sugar makes cocktails too sweet.
To make a martini, add 2 ounces of dry vodka to a shaker. Add 1 ounce of vodka. Add 1 ounce vodka to the mixture and shake vigorously. Put the mixture in a chilled martini cup and garnish it with an olive.
The same steps are required to make a martini in a shaker. You don't need to shake the mixture much, just enough to combine the ingredients.
