Lets talk Martinis today, my friends call me the martini queen, not so much for the amount of martinis I drink but rather the some of the best martinis I make for them.I love making martinis and experimenting every time I get the chance to do it. Some of my best moments during parties have been with the Martini shaker. I got this necklace from my hubby which had a necklace with a diamond martini glass as the pendant
If you love martinis or are new to martinis, I have found a perfect place to start off, it is called Swank Martini, this shop is just amazing. You can practically find martini glasses everywhere, even in your local discount store like Walmart or Target, but this shop has the most unique martini glasses I have seen, just name it, stemmed and stemless martini glasses, so unique you can impress you guests just by the glass and top it off with what is inside the glass as well. Swank Martini offers Free Shipping and free gift wrap just in case you need to find a present for a martini junkie like me. If you are thinking about starting to shake martinis, they try their kits like the Shake It Kit which contains red (22oz) or silver (24oz) martini shaker,a silver jigger, and a 4-pack or 6-pack of glasses.
They also have accessories like the garnish toll which will help you create more professional looking garnishes. My secret to great martinis is
1. Always to use PURE FRESH FRUIT JUICE as the base, no artificial flavored juice or sweetened juice, you can find some at your local supermarkets because they are real fruit juices they give you great color, taste and flavor.
2. Always garnish with cut fresh fruit for color, flavor and taste, the fresh fruit is edible and different from the standard olives used for the regular martinis.
3. Always keep a set of chilled martini glasses in a fridge so when you need them they will be well chilled. I always have a set chilled in the bottom of my fridge, (one of my veggie crispers)
