Mix A Perfect Martini With Grey Goose
Mixing up a perfect martini takes more practice than you might think.
With minimalist cocktails, even the slightest changes can make or break the drink. Which is why we turned to Grey Goose to get their take on how to make a perfect martini.
While James Bond might like his martini shaken, Grey Goose opts for stirred. Shaking allows for too much dilution and makes the drink watered down and slightly frothy, killing the smooth and silky texture that makes a martini so enjoyable. What might surprise you about the Grey Goose martini is the single dash of orange bitters–a step the brand uses to bring out the notes in the vodka. When paired with a lemon twist it adds a touch more drama and makes for a remarkable drinking experience.
Once you have the classic down pat, you can explore the world of riffs!
