Martini Martini is the most famous of many cocktails.
In the 007 series of movies, as long as James Bond appears in a bar, his favorite drink is Martini.
Bond takes a sip of a martini and holds a glamorous girl in his hand, which makes many Chinese men deeply yearn for.
However, for this reason, let them remember the three words "Martini".
Not to mention, Stephen Chow stood by the pork stall at the beginning of "Domestic Lingling Paint", slowly holding up a glass of Martini, a handsome and sad pork guy, impressive. These shots of
, along with the spread of the film, let "Martiny" penetrate the hearts of Chinese people.
Even in the consciousness of some people, Martini is equal to a cocktail. Is it
? Below
, Zheng Xiaolu, I will come to uncover Martini's mystery.

Bond Martini
I always like to call Martini in the 007 movie Bond Martini.
, though, does not have this name.
"A dry martini, Shaken, not stirred!" (A cup of dry martini, shake well, don't stir!) The sentence
is a classic Bond quote in the 007 movie.
Bond also said,
"Just a moment. Three measures of Gordon's, one of vodka, half a measure of Kina Lillet. Shake it very well until it's ice-cold, then add a large thin slice of lemon peel. Got it?"
(Wait, three parts of gin, one part of vodka, one part of Lilac, pour out when shaken enough ice, and add a large slice of thin lemon zest, you know?)
This is Bond Martini's method in mind.
But how do you say? This formula of
Bond is not a real martini.
It should be said that this is the author of the 007 novel, Ian Fleming, who created his own Martini method. The purpose of
is probably to highlight Bond’s sophisticated and independent life.
Therefore, it should be called Vodka Martini. The emergence of
vodka martini, unintentionally, opened up another development direction for Martini, using vodka as the base wine martini formula.
The original Martini is not like that.

standard classic Martini
A cup of standard classic Martini, usually composed of these four.
Gin, Vermouth, Martini glass, olive or lemon zest.
Martini does not use many raw materials. It should be said that it is the simplest method of all cocktails.
You may not know much about gin and vermouth.
is okay.
Zheng Xiaolu, let me give a brief introduction.
gin is a neutral spirit and distilled spirit. It is relatively strong. The production process is the same as that of whiskey. Plant spices such as juniper berries are usually added to increase the aroma.
can bring a variety of flavors to cocktails because of its herbal and spice flavors. As a result, gin has gradually become the "soul of cocktails", and the most cocktails are made with it.
vermouth, also called absinthe.
is used to adjust martinis, usually dry vermouth, with a light taste, strong plant and spice flavor.
standard martini, gin and vermouth usually have a "four to one" ratio, 4 parts gin and 1 part vermouth.
does notAdd the vodka ingredients that Bond likes.
So, when you order a martini in a bar, look at the charming girls coming in the distance, and imagine that you are "James Bond", you should wake up.
There is no vodka in the taste you drink, so you can't make a real "bond"! If
wants to be a Bond, there must be "destruction" and the ability to "subvert"!

"Shake well, don't stir"
The Martini flavor that Bond wants is not the original Martini flavor.
not only changed the original classic martini formula, but also changed the martini's recipe, destroying or even subverting the original flavor of the martini. In the words of cocktail connoisseurs,
"Bond said'shake well, don't stir', which means putting ice cubes and wine in a hip flask and shaking them together. In fact, the wine is diluted, as if mixed. Water wine, does this still have the original taste of martini?"
However, martini is a cocktail that is drunk on ice, which can only show its unique flavor when iced.
In the bar, if you feel that adding ice is not good, you can tell the bartender that Martini uses no ice.
So, the bartender will ice the wine glass, or put the wine glass in the freezer to cool, and then pour the martini, so that the effect is the same as that with ice.
Of course, you don’t mind, you can also choose to add ice and pour it into a flat-bottomed glass.

The best cocktails
If you are in a bar, looking at the dazzling cocktail menu, you can't get your hands off, I think the best one is Martini, who makes it the "king of cocktails"!
Or, you have an appointment with a girl to go to a bar, and you want to show your profound knowledge in front of her,
"Hello, a glass of Martini, Gordon Gin for the base wine, add lemon zest, dry, without ice , Stir, thank you!"
made it all in one go, alive and well!
However, sometimes the girl's aura is too big, or the girl is so beautiful that you forgot the lines that day, it doesn't matter, I suggest you order Martini!
Besides, it's the same line, even if it's wrong, it's fine!
Why?
is too much because of Martini's tuning method!
In 1979, the United States published a book, "A Complete Works of Martini Cocktails", which introduced 268 martini recipes.
Martini is not only one or two recipes, it is an all-encompassing type!
So, in front of the girl, don't be afraid of embarrassment, even if she knows the general method of Martini, it doesn't matter, what you want is a Martini with your personal style!
This is the confidence of a man, just like Bond!

Common Martini
The standard classic Martini and Bond Vodka Martini mentioned above are all common Martini in bars.
Here, I will focus on the Dry Martini.
Martini was sweet at the beginning, using a sweet vermouth, but as the taste of Westerners changed, beginning in the 1940s, it gradually developed towards a "dry" trend.
So, dry martinis became more and more popular. The meaning of "dry"
is actually "not sweet", not really "dry".
At the bar, suppose the girl is curious and wants to try dry martinis. There is also a lingo,
"Do you like to drink more dry, gin and vermouth, 6:1, 7:1?" The bartender next to
When I heard, "Well, this man is still knowledgeable!" The ratio of
standard typical martini, gin and vermouth is 4:1, while the ratio of dry martini is gradually moving towards more than 6:1.
So when the bartender adjusts the Martini and puts it in front of the girl, you have to remind the girl,
"This glass of dry martini tastes like a gentle you, driving a rough and wild Hummer. It is one of the strongest cocktails!"
is indeed!
dry martini, what you drink is the strong aroma of its liquor.
is as bold as the Northeast people!

lemon zest, olive
Of course, after the girl has experienced the "strong" smell of dry martini, she will also ask you,
"Why is there a curved lemon peel on top of the wine glass?"
How should I answer this?
to look good? Fun? None of
!
is because the dried martini doesn't have too much flavor. Put a lemon slice to increase the aroma and also play a decorative role.
However, the girl will also find that Martini is also ordered next door, why is there an olive or a bunch of olives?
You have to tell her that a martini with olives is not a dry martini.
Dry martinis can only be served with lemon zest, not olives.
In the final analysis, I am afraid that the taste of olives is too strong, which will affect the original taste of dried martinis.
Although, olives are also standard for other Martini.

Martini's charm
If it is Zheng Xiaoxi, I will date a girl in a bar.
Finally, I will not forget to ask the girl a question,
"Do you know why Martini is so popular all over the world?" Most girls
shook their heads, or gave an answer at random, and then stared. Looking at you with big eyes.
"Because of Martini, there is an unpredictable charm."
"Just like you, I try to guess you and understand you every time, but you surprise me again and again."
" such as Your dress today is gorgeous without losing intellect, sexy without losing introversion, and it showed me the other side of you!"
"Every cup of Martini is unique, even if the materials are the same and the formula is the same, I can't make the second cup of Martini exactly!"
"You are like Martini, the most special!"
