Welcome to the Martini Recipe GuideWe dedicate a page to the martini recipes because it’s such a classic cocktail. It is after all James Bond’s drink of choice
Shaken or stirred? Gin or vodka? Equal parts or not? There are probably as many martini recipes as there are bartenders (and secret agents). One thing is certain though – Martini’s are not for the faint-hearted. Don’t overdo it with this one, or you might never have the desire to have Martini again. Below are the most classic and popular martini recipes we could lay our hands on. Martini’s are easy and straight-forward to make and so a great choice if you are low on stock or in a hurry. An all time favourite pre-dinner drink. Martini’s are commonly made with gin. Sometimes with vodka, like 007 prefers his martini. But you can pretty much mix anything into your martini.
BARTENDING TIP: Shaking gin gives it a cloudy texture. When mixing gin with other clear ingredient, rather stir than shake it if you want to keep the mixture clear. Visit our Cocktail Mixing Guide for an explanation of the terms used on this page. VESPER - THE JAMES BOND MARTINI This recipe comes from Ian Fleming’s book Casino Royale (1953).
