As numerous sociological surveys show, such a drink as a martini is one of the most favorite and popular in our country. Especially among the female part of the population.

In addition, it is worth noting that in this way it is possible to prepare several varieties of this drink.
So, if you are going to cook martinis at home, then understand that this drink must be dry and not too sweet. Otherwise, it will be just a semblance of martini, and not a real version.
To make a martini at home you will need such basic ingredients as vermouth, gin, finely crushed ice, and lemon juice. You may also need a specialized glassware.
Initially, in the container that you plan to use during the preparation of the drink martini you need to put two to three rings of lemon peel. It is also possible to put the peel directly into each individual glass. The ingredients should be mixed in strict sequence. First, it is necessary to pour two thirds of a glass of gin into the prepared bowl, then add one third of a glass with vermouth. After that, you need to add half a glass of finely pounded ice. By the way, depending on your taste preferences, you can use low-concentrated lemon juice or orange juice to make ludes. The very last thing to be added is the juice of a lemon, derived from half of the fruit.
Recently, a martini that is made with cranberries and pomegranates has gained considerable popularity. To make such kind of martini at home one may use such ingredients as cranberry, pomegranate seeds, sugar, vodka and freshly squeezed lime juice.
Using a shaker you need to change the pomegranate fruit grains as well as the cranberry fruit. The amount of ingredients used directly depends on the volume of the drink you want to get. The next step is to add freshly squeezed lime juice, as well as crushed ice. The final step is to add sugar.
There is nothing complicated in the process of making martinis at home. You just need some products.
