Serving martinis to guests almost invariably turns your party into a hit. Doesn’t a good cocktail drink served in a stylish glass make you feel really good?

The sleek, sexy cylinder reaching up to cup a sexy, upside-down skirt-shaped figure tends to almost have a seductive look. And certainly when you hold this pretty lady, you are instantly drawn into a festive party mood.

The stylish martini glass is in a class of its own. Its elegant and refined style makes it the most popular choice when it comes to glassware and barware in the world.

The image of holding a fine martini drink seems to conjure up the same images of the most elite during the 40’s and 50’s when top Hollywood actors considered a fine martini glass as an essential part of their wardrobe.

Today, there are many cocktail recipes choose from starting with a simple olive to adding delicious tasting chocolate, cherries and citrus fruit of all kinds.

Many bars and restaurants today will coat the ice cubes in vermouth or use Vermouth Spritzers to coat the ice to save money. Now most recently gin has been replaced with vodka as the more popular choice and as the picky martini purists would call itthe “Bradford” or “Vodka Martini” as we all know it, was born.

A very chilled martini glass still applies when serving the martini cocktail. Ask any bartender and they will tell you that the colder it is, the more delicious it will taste.

Even though the ingredients seem to be changing as people discover new ways to serve a delicious martini, the manner of serving them in frosty glass will never change. Bartenders admit that the secret to a perfect cocktail is to use a shaker and always keep the glass ice cold.

Most bartenders use stainless steel shakers as the mixing tool of choice. Once all the ingredients are added, the bartender shakes the mixes together and out comes a ready-made martini perfect for any occasion.

Bartenders claim that by vigorously shaking the mix together, oxygen is added to the drink causing it to taste sharper and more refined. This is also how vermouth is evenly blended into the drink giving you a fine martini.

Some say one of the best-kept secrets to making a great tasting cocktail is to never let the drink turn warm. This is why they are always served in an ice-chilled glass.
