Can you make martinis by the pitcher

Try it on its own—it's quite tasty! Vermouth comes in a few different varieties, but the most common ones you'll encounter are sweet Italian and dry French. For a martini, you'll want dry vermouth , which adds some herbal nuance to the smoothness of vodka. I recommend Dolin or Noilly Prat's dry vermouth. If you're looking for a sweeter, gentler drink, try a blanc vermouth, like Dolin Blanc , which combines the sweetness of a red vermouth with the dryness of a white one.

Vermouth has its own martini controversy, namely: how much should you add? Opinions vary. Some say to mix 4 parts vodka with 1 part vermouth; others recommend just rinsing the glass with vermouth before pouring in the vodka, and some drinkers forgo the vermouth altogether!

That last one is not really a cocktail so much as a chilled glass of vodka, but hey, do what makes you happy! For my part, I think a ratio of roughly vodka to vermouth is the way to go.

It should be noted that the other classic martini is a gin martini, so feel free to go in that direction if that's more your style! Fill a mixing glass or pint glass with ice. Add the vodka and vermouth.

Stir for at least 30 seconds. Allow the drink to sit for a minute. Meanwhile, rub a lemon peel around the rim of a cocktail glass. Support Us Phoenix's independent source of local news and culture. I support. Support the independent voice of Phoenix and help keep the future of New Times free.
