Best Martini Recipes with Strawberries
Shaken, not stirred!
That's how James Bond orders his favorite vodka martinis for more than 50 years now.
Ok, this has nothing to do with best martini recipes, but as a real James Bond fan who has watched all the movies several times and even got the DVD Collection as a birthday present, I just had to include it :-)
The best Martini recipes should include either gin or vodka and dry vermouth. Otherwise most bartenders will tell you it's not a "real" Martini cocktail.
Given the bitter taste of vermouth, Martini is a very strong cocktail, that not many persons like.
With our recipes you can give it an easier and lighter touch by adding fresh strawberries or syrup.
These Martini recipes are real treats for strawberry fans and James Bond fans as well. Try and you will see!
