Martini Variations and their Ingredients

A Martini is a cocktail made with gin and vermouth, garnished with a lemon twist. It is the most famous cocktail made with gin, which may be the reason for its popularity. There are many variations of the Martini, some of which have become so famous that they have acquired the status of a separate cocktail.

Some of the popular variations of the Martini include the following:

Dry Martini: The Dry Martini is made with gin and dry vermouth, garnished with a lemon twist. This is the classic Martini.

Extra-Dry (Extra-Dry Martini): An extra-dry Martini is made with dry gin and dry vermouth, garnished with a lemon twist. In French, the term ‘Extra-dry’ is ‘Extra sec’. This variation is not very common, but it is a useful trick to know when you want a drink that is drier than a dry Martini.

Vodka Martini: The Vodka Martini is made with vodka and dry vermouth, garnished with an olive. This variation is not a traditional Martini, but it is popular among people who do not like gin.

Dirty Martini: The Dirty Martini is made with gin and vermouth, garnished with a lemon twist. To give it a ‘dirty’ look, this variation is stirred in the glass, not shaken.

Lychee Martini Cocktail

The lychee Martini cocktail is a delicious variation of a classic Martini, made with gin, lychee liqueur, and vermouth, and garnished with lychee.
