How to Make a Classic Martini?
MOREStep 1: Gather Your Ingredients
Ensure you
have these -
2 1/2 oz (75 ml) Gin
1/2 oz (15 ml) Dry
Vermouth
Ice Cubes
Lemon Twist or Olive for
garnish
Step 2: Chill the
Glass
Place your martini glass in the freezer or fill
it with ice water to chill while you prepare the
cocktail.
Step 3: Chill the Mixing
Glass
Fill a mixing glass with ice to chill it. This
ensures your martini stays cold throughout the mixing
process.
Step 4: Measure and Pour
Gin
Measure 2 1/2 oz (75 ml) of your favorite gin and
pour it into the chilled mixing glass.
Step
5: Add Dry Vermouth
Add
1/2 oz (15 ml) of dry vermouth to the gin in the mixing glass. Adjust
the vermouth quantity according to your personal taste preferences for a
drier or wetter martini.
Step 6: Stir or
Shake
Stir the
mixture gently with a bar spoon for about 30 seconds. If you prefer a
more intense chill and a slightly frothier texture, you can shake the
ingredients instead. Be mindful, though, as shaking can dilute the drink
more than stirring.
Step 7: Strain into the
Glass
Discard the
ice from the chilled martini glass. Using a strainer, pour the mixed
ingredients from the mixing glass into the now empty martini
glass.
Step 8:
Garnish
For
a classic touch, garnish your martini with a twist of lemon peel or an
olive. Express the lemon peel over the glass to release its oils, giving
the drink a subtle citrus aroma.
Step 9:
Enjoy Responsibly
Sip and savor your perfectly
crafted classic martini. Cheers!

Lick your wrist then pour some Nescafe on it. Drink the shot then lick your wrist again.
Rum
Rum is a liqour that originated in the West indies and is made by fermenting then distilling sugarcane molasses or sugarcane juice. The distillate is usually a clear liquid and is then aged in oak barrels.
Most Rums are produced in the Caribbeans and American countries, but are now produced in other sugar producing countries like PHilippines and Taiwan.
The first recorded mention of Rum comes from Barbados, in about 1650. They were originally called "kill-devil" or "rumbullion" and later on, simply Rum.Nescafe French Vanilla Instant Coffee
Vanilla is a spice derived from orchids of the genus Vanilla, the spice is obtained from the pods of the Mexican species of flat leaved Vanilla. The characteristic flavour of Vanilla comes from the aromatic compound Vanillin. Up to 85% of a vanilla essential oil is Vanillin.
Natural vanilla flavour is in pure form, a little more complex than plain Vanillin, but most of the times the Vanillin is what is needed to release that familiar flavour in a drink.
Note that when a drink asks for Vanilla extract, it means an extract of real Vanilla from Vanilla pods in an alcoholic suspension and is usually less processes and stronger, while Vanilla Flavour or Vanilla Essence is a processed product made using artificial flavours and colours. While a Vanilla syrup is a sweetened thick condiment with either real organic vanilla flavour or artificial vanilla flavouring.
The thumbs rule is, if you run out of Vanilla extract, go for Maple syrup as a replacement. Also note that artificial vanilla is strong and artificial vanilla flavour comes from Castoreum, a chemical compound that comes from a beaver's castor sacs, which are located between the pelvis and the base of the tail.

However, we have embarked on a journey of manually updating the relative strength of cocktails, their flavour profile and in the future aim at providing approximate calories per drink too.
Blue Tick Project:We aim at manually validating and verifying each cocktail in their current context and mark them as valid, where, a blue tick would mean that the recipe has been verified and is 100% accurate while an orange tick would mean the recipe has low confidence.
Where as a grey tick would mean that the recipe has not yet been manually validated or verified recently.
