Know About Martini-What is Martini?

Know About Martini-What is Martini?

Martini is a cocktail made with gin and vermouth (a fortified wine flavored with aromatic herbs and spices). Martini is also a brand of Italian vermouth. Apple martini or Appletini is made with vodka and either apple juice, apple cider or apple liqueur. Remember Jimmy Buffett's "Boat Drinks?" His sister owns a restaurant called "Lulu's" in Gulf Shores, Alabama. Her recipe for a Buffett pia colada Boat Drink is to die for - try this out on your friends - or keep it to yourself. You must try this - it adds so much to the raspberry taste of this hip-to-sip drink. Put half a dozen fresh raspberries in the bottom of your chilled shaker and bruise them with your muddler. Now add the crushed ice and the afore-mentioned heavenly ingredients and shake it well. Double-strain it through a fine sieve into chilled glasses, garnish with fresh raspberries and enjoy! One of the more popular cocktails created in 1939 is Bloody Mary, which is prepared by vodka, tomato juice, and Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco, salt and pepper and garnished with celery salt and lemon wedge. The Internet has been able to provide varied information about cocktails including the history of mixed drinks. The ingredients used in the making of such drinks differ and some have an incredible taste. People worldwide use the World Wide Web in order to find recipes for cocktails and make sure they have an awesome party. In the past, people used mostly bitter and vodka as a basic ingredient for alcohol. As time passed, various other drinks were implemented and nowadays the most popular ones are: gin, rum and whisky. Of course that there are still a lot of cocktails prepared with vodka and they are some of the most consumed drinks worldwide. Midori is a sweet muskmelon flavoured liqueur (in some parts of the world liqueur is used interchangeably with cordial) and green in colour. The drink was originally made in Japan and the name midori means green in Japanese. As Midori is extremely sweet it is usually mixed to make cocktails by mixing with lemonade, fresh lemon, lime, pineapple or orange juice. Sometimes a sour flavour is added to counter its sweetness. One such cocktail is the Supersonic Gin & Tonic. It is made with Bombay Sapphire gin, tonic and a splash of fresh lemonade. This flavorful cocktail, ideal for warm summer days, maintains the classic line of the gin & tonic while providing a modern spin, enhanced by the clean, crisp taste of Bombay Sapphire gin, long a favorite of mixologists due to its perfectly balanced flavor. Today, the brand's signature Supersonic Gin & Tonic benefits from this smooth flavor profile, while giving consumers a new reason to enjoy an old favorite.
