DRY MARTINI
The Dry Martini is the original and simple form of Martini where all you need is a chilled glass, gin and a splash of vermouth to make you the simple yet extremely efficient martini! It can be strong at first as the alcohol will be served straight up but it is a perfect drink after a tough day at work! Good gins to use for martinis in India could be Bombay Sapphire or London Hill
DIRTY MARTINI
The dirty martini is not as bad or complicated as it sounds, we simply add olive juice to the mix to give it a slightly diluted, tangy and crisp taste to lighten up your martini.
VESPER MARTINI
007 fans would understand what a Vesper Martini is, but what exactly does it entail? The martini has a hint of white wine along with the usual ingredients, this addition would give a hint of sweetness and tang t the martini as a white wine would be a great pair with the gin! A good white wine to be paired with a good martini is the Sula White as it is affordable and a sturdy hearty wine for many households in India.
FRENCH MARTINI
The french martini is a completely different concept where it is nothing like your usual dry martini at all it has a raspberry liqueur and pineapple juice for the lightweights who cannot handle hard liquor
