A Collection of Top Martini Drink Recipes

Martini recipes so delicious that maybe even the men will brave sitting at a table..alone…with a martini in front of him. And why not? They’re delish!

If you learned about martinis from James Bond movies, you remember that he likes his martinis shaken rather than stirred. Most martini drinks served in martini glasses are built this way – by adding ice and ingredients to a shaker tin, mixing and straining. To make the best martini you can, chill the martini glass while you’re building the drink – this will keep the drink nice and cold for your guests.

Other than using a martini or rocks glass, the only other thing that changes are the ingredients that go into the shaker tin and the garnish that accompanies the martini.

Click here for a video on the How to Shake & Strain and How to Chill a Glass.
