  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 ก.ย. 2019
  • Ingredients:
    5ml (1 barspoon/ 1/6oz) chilled Dolin Dry vermouth
    60ml (2oz) freezer chilled Gin Mare (Tanqueray or Plymouth gins would suit too) - or if vodka is your preference, perhaps try Grey Goose.
    You also need:
    An icy cold mixing glass
    A chilled Martini glass
    And good quality ice.
    Olives on a skewer.
    Method:
    Add your vermouth & gin to the mixing glass.
    Fill with as much ice as you can.
    Stir until very cold & diluted to your preferred taste.
    Strain in to an icy cold glass using your julep strainer.
    Finish with the classic olive (or 3) on a skewer.
    So now you know!
    Stay tuned for more martini videos coming soon.

    Nice, but I prefer mine shaken not stirred as then you get the silver bullet effect when you pour. And possibly less H20 which is a good thing to avoid in a Martini.
    And I can't resist the oppertunity to mention the poem!
    “I like to have a martini,
    Two at the very most.
    After three I'm under the table,
    after four I'm under my host.”

    I just made my first ever Martini. I used a locally distilled Gin (Leopold Bros. Small Batch) and some dry vermouth. I didn't want to go to the store for any olives, but I like the taste of the gin, so I had it without. I could have gone with a twist. It was arctic cold and delicious on this 80-degree evening.

      @@BehindtheBar I've really enjoyed your channel. Me and a bunch of friends started making mix drinks during Covid. We would Zoom and all make the same drink. We called it Drunky Thursday. Sometimes we just had wine, but it became much more fun when we started to do the mixed drinks. Now I make these awesomely good drinks--about ten of them--and my favorite summer drink is your version of the Tom Collins. The good thing is, when you mix drinks at home and zoom with your friends, you don't have to worry about the pesky drunk driving thing.

    Nice. Prefer mine not quite so dry. But I have made them like this, and even just using the Vermouth as a rinse. Just use a good quality Gin, and a good Vermouth and it's all good.
    Now for a dirty martini.

    I used to drive a yacht for a fellow named Chad Bowls. He liked a martini or two. He insisted that I buy the giant olives and pick the pimentos out. He said if he were choking on an olive, he could breathe through the hole. Mr. Bowls would come up to the bridge and ask me " say, ole boy, how about a martini ?" to which I would reply, oh no Mr. Bowls, I have to drive the yacht... and he would say politely, no, ole boy, I was asking you, to make me, a martini... this would happen often... : )

    How long can vermouth reasonably stay in the fridge without going bad? I am always hesitant to make vermouth cocktails because I don't want to have to waste most of the bottle.

    • @BehindtheBar
      @BehindtheBar  3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Dry vermouth I’d say a couple of weeks to a month max, sweeter vermouths are Ok for a bit longer. See if you can find some mini bottles if you’re worried you wouldn’t use enough, or I also use any leftover dry vermouth as a substitute for white wine for cooking.

    • @grantandjanice
      @grantandjanice 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I've had vermouth six months in the fridge, and we tested against a new bottle and difference was almost negligible. We use such the tiniest amount in our martinis as well, that is basically makes no difference. That said, I still prefer shaken to stirred so do not know what I am talking about either!

    • @Brad-ic4bp
      @Brad-ic4bp 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@grantandjanice I was gonna suggest the same thing - For as little dry vermouth goes into a martini, I can't imagine anyone would notice the difference between a freshly opened bottle and one 6 months old. Still, I with they'd sell tiny bottles of vermouth for $1 or $2.

    • @BehindtheBar

      Some people have suggested it’s because it would be more diluted so helps him keep his wits about him but I mostly think it’s just so he had a catchphrase haha!

    Why do you use so much ice when stirring? Is there an actual reason I don't know yet? Thank you! 😃

    • @BehindtheBar
      @BehindtheBar  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Excellent question. Basically, ice keeps itself cold so the more of it, the slower the dilution which gives you more control over the cocktail. Especially in a bar situation where you might get distracted I find it safer to have a good amount of ice in there so it doesn’t melt and over dilute too quickly if you take your eye off it!

    I'm always surprised how difficult it is to order this and get it right. anymore I've gong to ordering Gin (Tanqurey), stirred, lemon twist, no vermouth. I do that because I find that bartenders always seem to add WAY too much vermouth. I have found a few who will swish it around the glass and dump the extra - I'm fine with that. I'm also surprised how hard it is to get this in different parts of the world. Especially odd was England (the land of James Bond) where ordering a Martini may result in a glass of just plain Martini and Rossi Vermouth. Yuck!

      Your story is also very familiar to me. One of the few locations in this world where I got a perfect classic Dry Martini was in Antwerp - The Sipps bar. The Orange Bitters were also added here.
      I now see it as a test whether people understand cocktails by ordering this drink. Unfortunately, most bartenders fail...
