What are the different vodka martini recipes
A vodka martini recipe is a slight spin off from the original martini. The martini was originally intended to be made with gin and vermouth. The garnish of the drink was also specified as either an olive or a lime twist. Gradually as tastes began to evolve people began enjoying a dry martini. A dry martini was one which had only a whiff of vermouth. The lesser the amount of vermouth add to the martini the drier it became.
Most martini connoisseurs would not accept a martini made with anything else but gin. This drink was made with one ounce of Old Tom sweet gin, a dash of bitters and two dashes of maraschino liquor. This was then shaken and served with a lime twist. As time progressed the martini became simpler to make with half a jigger of English gin and vermouth and a dash of orange bitters. This drink was stirred and served with an olive.
