FAQs

Can you make a big batch of martinis? ›

To make a large batch of martinis, you therefore need to add water to the gin and vermouth — as long as you're not going to shake it to order (which voids the point of batching co*cktails). Then all you need to do is grab it from the freezer, pour into a glass, and garnish it with olives.

In all martinis, you're looking to complement your spirit with your garnish rather than overpower. Never is this more important than with citrus. Gin and vodka are perfect partners for citrus, the oils brightening the spirits, adding freshness and zing.

Pour Canados and grenadine into a champagne flute. Top with sparkling wine.

Then, all you have to do is combine the ingredients in a mixing bowl, give them a quick stir, and re-bottle them in an empty 750 mL bottle. (If you don't have an empty spirits bottle yet, you can of course use whatever freezer-safe vessel you like.) After about six hours, it will be cold enough to serve.

Combine the gin, distilled water and vermouth in a mixing glass. Using a funnel, transfer the mixture into a glass bottle. Seal the bottle and store in the freezer overnight. When mixture is fully chilled, pour 4 ounces into a chilled co*cktail glass.

A martini co*cktail will last for a while in the fridge or freezer, especially since it's such a spirit-forward drink. Both vodka and vermouth — the two main ingredients in a vodka martini co*cktail — are rather long lasting. Vodka will stay good pretty much indefinitely, so it's the vermouth you need to worry about.

Don't overfill the shaker.

Give the ingredients plenty of room to move around (it also helps to prevent spills). The average-sized shaker can handle two or three drinks at once, depending on the volume. If you're using a small shaker, mix one drink at a time.

The oils from the espresso emulsifying and frothing during shaking are essential to the drink. Without the airiness the espresso martini becomes heavy and sickly sweet. To prevent yourself having to make every co*cktail fresh, you can pre batch (with dilution) and set up a protein shaker with the batch.
