45 people mix alcohol and olives 4 people make a martini 1 person drinks vodka and eat an olive
Iam crying 😂😂😂😂
And yet not one of them did it correctly
*_Slav Martini_*
@@prithvibumia2941 Not even the chef at the end did it right. Martini's are equal parts Vermouth and Gin or Vodka, a Dry Martini would be the 2 parts Gin or Vodka to 1 part Vermouth and should be stirred. He shook Vodka in a shaker and put it in a vermouth rinsed glass.

He my faverite
He's a chef, actually
@@laszo3581 Favorite I've done that before lol
While there is no "wrong" way to make a martini, the classic way was around 1 part dry vermouth and 2 parts gin, varying a bit for taste and always stirred.
the recipe people are most familiar with changes as the vermouth was abandoned more and more until completely omitted, popularized by Winston Churchill.
Vodka martinis were popularized by the James Bond movies and books, often abandoning the vermouth as well and shaken rather than stirred(basically watered down cold vodka).
olives were often a garnish but its called a dirty martini if you add some olive juice as well.
I love a good olive martini .Prefer gin base thought 🍸
Actually wether it's dry or not is determined by if you use dry or sweet vermouth. Also in the books james bond prefers straight whisky ;)
IBA says 6 parts gin to 1 part vermouth. Not vodka with a dirty glass...
If the Vermouth is omitted it isn’t a Martini anymore.
@@JoeBlak81 yes it is you just wave the glass in the general direction of Italy
3:05 me when schools over😂😂😂
0:52 “two shots of vodka” 💀
I didn’t hear anyone say 2 shots of vodka wtf are all these comments about
Even the experts was something you'd expect from a bad sports bar.
Smaller, chilled glass.
7 parts gin to 1 part dry vermouth for dry.
3 parts gin to 1 part dry vermouth for wet.
Good large ice.
Stir until approximately 20% dilution and a temperature of around -3 degrees centigrade is achieved.
Total drink volume should be no more than 3oz otherwise it will warm up too quickly as you drink.
Vermouth should be treated like white wine and be refrigerated once opened.
I really think they should have got a bartender instead of a chef for the expert portion of this video.
Agreed.
This. I'd go 2 parts gin to 1 part vermouth, but that's just personal preference. A dash or two of orange bitters and subbing a lemon peel twist for the olive is also acceptable. (Yes to both for me. I don't like olives.)
Yes! Not a single person in this video made a proper martini, including the chef! A vodka martini is a variation and not a proper martini. You use gin, not vodka, to make a martini. If you don't like gin, then that's fine, but if you're teaching people how to make a martini, you use gin. Likewise, if you prefer your martini shaken, that's fine, but when you are instructing people on how to do it right, then the proper form is to STIR a martini. A skilled mixologist would never make such rookie mistakes.
Exactly.
Thank god there are people who know how to make a martini here. I think this comment thread is for bartenders who actually know the drink. I like 2:1 w/ gin, dash orange bitters, lemon twist. Stirred. Classic and easy. Fresh vermouth is a must.
1:24 I died 😂
0:06 is honestly a mood
Chef: 4 ounces of vodka I'm feeling generous today
Me: there's someone more generous
Chef: who
Mrs. 2 shots of Vodka
The expert does a shaken vodka martini?
WWWAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT????????
Actually the expert does a giant, straight up vodka shot with half a jar of olives in the bottom of the glass. In no way, shape, or form was that even remotely a martini.
I mean he's a chef and not a bartender right :P Side note, at least he said it was a Vodka martini and that shaking is just his personal preference.
@@sumguy4435 i made this exactly like he did and it tasted like a vodka shot. not impressed.
@@livingshangrila Well, yeah. Because that's basically what he made. You want a martini, dump a bunch of ice in a pint glass, add one part dry vermouth to 2-5 parts gin (depending on how dry you want it), stir it for 20 seconds or so, and strain it into a cocktail glass. Garnish it with an olive or a lemon twist. You can sub vodka for the gin if you want a vodka martini. If you have any orange bitters laying around, you can also add 1-2 dashes before stirring, if you want.
He also inexplicably used vodka. I know it's heresy to some, but I always get martinis shaken. I like them very, very cold. Use good ice and a quick shake and it ends up less dilute than most stirred versions.
Everytime pink shirt guy showed up, my heart felt really calm
"What Im looking for are those nice icechips on the top" - said no bartender about a martini ever :D
he explained that it won't happen if you stir but said that was his preference. I know plenty of bartenders that make drinks differently than the classic way for themselves it doesn't mean they don't know how to do it, it means they don't like it.
Omg that guy who was ohhh yes let’s go to the club he is my favorite at 3:00

if i see my martini being made the same way as that chef guy in the end i would leave...what the hell was that
I mean it's a *vodka* martini anyway so who cares right :P
@@maybeyourbaby6486 It's not even a martini because he threw out the vermouth, it's just cold vodka.
@@LtFoeHammer there'll still be some vermouth left, similar to the Absinthe in a Sazerac. Calling it "Ultra Dry Shaken Vodka Martini" wouldn't be wrong imo. It's still pretty unorthodox though.
ya... absolutely just a vodka shot...
This is an extra dry vodka Martini, it's not a common way to make it but it's still accepted. It goes well with a higher quality vodka such as the grey goose I presume I saw in the video as its a very clean flavourless vodka.
This dude made the James Bond drink, but he sure didn't make a proper martini! The classic martini is with gin, stirred so that you don't bruise the gin and leave it sharp and less blended with the vermouth, and add the vermouth before stirring. Some olive juice if you want it dirty. If someone served this lightly aromatized vodka to me at a bar as a martini, I would send it back.
what does it mean to bruise gin?
@@anon4096 i think it meant to keep the alcohol quality intact as much as possible,
Like if you drink carbonated drinks, when shaken they have less carbonation due to the gas being forced to leave the drink itself ...
I think ...
But the same ideology nonetheless ...
No! The James bond one ( the Vesper) is 3 measures of gin, half a measure of vermouth and 1 measure of vodka garnished with a lemon peel. It is shaken not stirred tho, to water it down for it not to be too boozy cause Bond needs to stay focused.
@@A7Xfanfr That's only the newest one, as far as I know. Pierce Brosnan specifically called for a vodka martini.
As much as I agree a martini shouldn't be shaken, "bruising" gin is 100% a myth. That's not how that works at all. Source: am craft cocktail bartender
3:03 MY WHOLE MOOD
3:05 is my mood every Friday 😂
0:20 his eyes are magical... they match the blue bottle he was holding.
What the chef made is specifically a Dry Vodka Martini, the classic Vodka Martini would contain one part Vermouth and five parts Vodka if I'm not mistaken, while the Dry Martini only contains the light coating of Vermouth shown here.
3:05 😂 I thought he failed! 😂
1:24 when you try to impress your friends with you bar skills 😂
0:20 Those eyes can't be that blue ! It's a white walker i guess
Ikr🤦♂️
You know nothing Jon Snow
I had the exact same thought 😅
Ah haha his lid came off!
watching and listening to them shake is very satisfying
"Lets go to the club" needs to be on a t-shirt
If you are going to be all snobbish about the "just coat the glass in vermouth and then throw it all away" thing, then at least make a proper martini with gin, not vodka. And don't shake it, this is just ridiculous.
If he wants to shake it he can shake it its just his personal preference after all
@@alpheusburgos3003 Absolutely! But then just coating the glass with vermouth doesn't make much sense imo.
Hahaha its called a " Wash " and it's really a thing! Idk y but it is! I do it with limes and Cosmos too.
Vodka = shake, Gin = stir!!
@@denisevalenciano4282 no you should only really shake drinks that have citrus or cream in them, shaking a martini whether its gin or vodka just dilutes it too much
James Bond has his martini shaken not stirred to see if there is poison... Frank Proto has his martini shaken not stirred because he wants vodka flavored water and a mouth full of ice.
This is the first one I have no idea how to make. And I'm totally proud of that!
I always wanted to try one of these
My favorite “woooo lets go to the club!” 😂
I would have no inkling of what to do as I do not drink
I'm sure many other wonderful bartenders have left recipes as well, but here's a few pointers for anyone that's looking. Martinis are all about balance and preference, and the best drink to make is the drink the guest enjoys. For me a truly elevated martini has careful gin and vermouth selection highlighting specifically what you or who you're serving enjoys. I prefer citrus forward martinis so I will do 2.5oz of Tanqueray No 10. (a gin distilled with cirtus as well as traditional botanicals) .5oz Dolin Blanc (not technically a dry vermouth, but similar, a touch sweeter with nice bright citrus aromatics and flavors as well as elderflower and passionfruit) and a dash or two of orange bitters (kind of like salt and pepper for cocktails, bitters help enhance other flavors in the cocktail, also in this case, help balance the additional sweetness of the blanc vermouth.) All of these ingredients are poured into a mixing glass, topped with ice and stirred to dilution. Proper dilution is somewhat a matter of taste, but becomes second nature after a while, like a chef tasting if something has enough salt, essentially all of the ingredients need to be incorporated and enough water needs to be introduced to the cocktail to bring the overall %abv down to a level where it is pleasantly drinkable. Stirring allows you to more carefully control reaching this dilution level and not introduce bubbles that muddy the final appearance of the drink that would be incorporated by shaking. Shaking gin for martinis is commonly referred to as bruising gin because the excess dilution and over-chilling will cover up a lot of the wonderful delicate notes that distillers work so hard to put in their gins. Finish off the cocktail by straining into a chilled cocktail glass (either using the method the chef mentioned or by putting the glass in a freezer) and I prefer to garnish with a lemon expression or twist to further enhance the citrus aromatics, first twisting to express the oils over the top of the drink, then rimming the glass and finally dropping in. If you're looking for a vodka martini recipe, I'd skip vermouth entirely because realistically it does not pair well with vodka, and frequently those that order vodka martinis aren't looking for nuanced flavor, pour 3oz of your favorite vodka into a shaker tin (hopefully Boston Shakers and not Cobbler Shakers like in the video), maybe a dash of orange bitters if you're feeling fancy, shake to dilution (eventually its something you can hear and feel and the length of time you need to shake is heavily determined by the ambient temp of the room, the type of ice you are using and a myriad of other factors) and fine strain into a chilled cocktail glass (fine straining involves using a small mesh strainer to remove ice chips from the finished drink.) Some martini drinkers like to "skate" on these ice chips and find them desirable, but typically what they end up doing is over-diluting the drink over time and creating a thin layer of water on the drink. Cheers, hopefully anyone who actually reads any of this finds it helpful.
3:05 i keep replaying this part i love this haha😂
this is isn't as funny as the others :( who the hell knows how to make a martini
charlie walsh I do
I do
High functioning alcoholics, like myself.
I know how to make a lot of cocktails myself but even though I like Martinis I didn't bother to learn how to make them...
Learning to make a proper martini should be a requirement to participate in adulthood. ☺️
This is the first time I’ve disagreed with the professional.. a martini should be gin. Vodka is not an okay substitute. In which case you DO NOT shake because you don’t want to bruise the gin and distort the clean flavour
3:03 lmao that was amazing
I love watching that classic all-American Dad at the end with the pink shirts half the time show us how its done
Been bartending for a bit. The way I learned to make a classic Martini:
1: Chill martini glass.
2: Fill shaker/pounder with ice.
3: Pour 1/2 oz of dry vermouth over your ice to "season" it.
4: Dump ice water from martini glass.
5: Strain your cold vermouth into your chilled martini glass.
6: Pour 3 oz of gin (Gordons, Bombay, Tanq. 10, Plymouth, are all good choices) into an empty shaker/glass.
7: Put "seasoned" ice into gin (spirit first then add ice. Do not pour room temp spirit over ice. This causes dilution).
8: Stir for 30 seconds
9: Dump vermouth from tini glass after washing it with the vermouth.
10: Strain gin into tini glass and add a large thin slice of lemon peel/one or three olives. Never put two olives in a martini. Never put more than three olives into a martini.
I prefer Gordons gin in my martini.
Conner Reed 2oz gin/vodka
.5oz of a dry blanc vermouth
Stir and strain
Don’t over complicate it, it’s just a martini.
Dirty - sub olive juice
Extra dry - no vermouth
Bruised - shake and gate strain

Yes, and it's not cheapest drink , at lest good quality and dry Martini not always in markets.
@@MadineWerrer Depends what you like, but James Bond always had Vodka Martinis.

I thought you were supposed to keep the vermouth in it
3:04 was not expecting lmao fr
Watching this was enjoyable. I learned to make good martinis from very picky people. It really depends on the particular person; Vodka or Gin; and if that person has a particular way they like it I would make it that way and learning about people's tastes I can make anyone their favorite martini now!
@3:06 is a moooddddd😂😂😂💃🏽
Woohoo ufff lets go to the club is hilarious 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 at 3:04

As a bartender I cringed hard looking at everyone making their martinis. Wouldn't let any of them ever prepare me a drink
Nicolas Lannegrand even the chef bruised the hell out of it
So true Luke then again he’s a chef not a bartender 😂
NOOOOoooooo Damn you JB for popularising the shaken martini! :'( It should be stirred exactly so you DON'T water down the good quality spirit (gin or vodka). You can get a perfectly cold martini by stirring, every time.
Also: That's a dirty martini, I am partial to one with a twist, myself.
Exactly! Shaking also kinda separates the flavor and the alcohol, so the flavor is on the top, alcohol at the bottom. In conclusion your martini would taste awful after half a glas... The whole point of stirring is to prevent this and don't water it down
nothing wrong with a good whiskey and a dash of room temp filtered water
four olives? FOUR? jesus. a dab of the juice is all you actually need
Wow what a surprise, nobody touched the grater.
Saltiest Salted Salty Salt ikr, where’s meat tenderiser guy?

Never use olives with some garbage in the middle. The recepy asks for olives with a pit to avoid the pepper or garlic filled ones! Use a proper vermouth, like Noilly Prat.
matekochkoch so many skip over this. Glad you noticed
Chef, if your pour the vermouth out of the glass, you're just serving an entire martini glass of straight vodka 😅
No. It became a martini glass with watered down vodka, olives and a trace of Vermouth.
