Fidel, have you tried to pour vermouth in the glass, swirl it around then dump it? So all you get is the pungentness of vermouth. It's better than actually pouring it in the mix. Richard Gilroy, Frank Sinatra's bartender taught me that. No joke! Try it!
Also, I don't shake martinis. He taught me this too. It waters down the drink. I use a bar spoon and just twirl it to get the ice on top of the liquor, and get the drink cold, not to dilute it. I keep the martini glasses in the freezer.
There is really a difference between a martini that is shaken with vermouth poured in, and one that has the essence of vermouth and is stirred not shaken. Try it man! |

But did you know before James Bond, it was always stirred not shaken. Hollywood started that trend.
Please try it both ways and you will understand what I am saying. Shaking it you can get some nice ice crystals, but you will not taste a true martini unless it is slightly stirred. Just a half turn stir and then instantly pour it. Especially a gin martini. Gin easily gets diluted and loses it's bite. |
