The Chesterfield – Palm Beach, Florida
Name of Cocktail: The Leopard Classic Martini
- Ingredients:
- 3 ounces Ketel One Vodka
- ½ ounce Dry Vermouth
- 3 olives
- Instructions:
- Make sure you have plenty of ice and thoroughly chilled martini glasses. Place them in a freezer for at least one hour, as this ensures that the cocktail will be icy cold on serving, which is critical for a martini. Excellent quality gin or vodka and vermouth is key, as is a metal cocktail shaker and fresh produce for your desired garnish. While James Bond always requests his martini be ‘shaken not stirred,’ martini lovers have differing opinions concerning the optimum way to prepare the cocktail. A shaken martini will, as the name suggests, be more vigorously prepared and may well appear cloudier in color. It also requires a cocktail shaker whereas a stirred martini can be made in almost any vessel. Bartenders advise caution when opting for a shaken martini as too much movement can over-dilute the spirit. Lastly, Squeeze the olives slightly so that the flavor can be pleasingly muddled with the cocktail.
