What do we say when someone orders a "dirty" martini?
A dirty martini refers to a martini that is served with extra olives.
What are some good mixed drinks you can order at a bar.
An Old Fashioned is something I recommend. It's a classic cocktail with bourbon whiskey, sugar syrup, bitters, and water.
This drink is named after the fact that it was originally made without any ice. Original recipe called for only whiskey, sugar, sweetener, and bitters.
People added ice to the mix and then they added "Old-Fashioned", because they thought it tasted better.
A Manhattan is also an option. Another great option is the Manhattan. It's basically a variation on the Old Fashioned. Instead of using bourbon, you use rye whiskey. And instead of using sugar, you use sweet vermouth.
Bartenders love this recipe because it is simple to make and tastes great.

How To
How to make an excellent martini
A martini can be made from gin or vodka, vermouth, and water. Before mixing the ingredients, it is important to thoroughly combine them. It is usually served in a chilled glass. It should be enjoyed straight up. It will taste bad if it is mixed.
The most common way to serve a martini is with two olives on top. You can also add olive brine to the rim of your glass if you want to make your drink more flavorful.
Any type of alcohol can be used, however it is best to use 100% grain alcohol such as Vodka and Gin. This gives the cocktail an easier texture. There are many kinds of vermouths. However, we recommend choosing one that doesn't contain added sugar. Sugar makes cocktails too sweet.
Pour 2 ounces dry vermouth into a shaker with ice to make a martini. Add 1 ounce vodka. Combine all ingredients in a shaker until smooth. Mix well in a chilled martini glass. Garnish with an olive.
To make a martini using a shaker, follow the same steps above. Remember not to shake the mixture too much - only enough to combine all the ingredients.
