One of the common questions we get at Wine World is how to make different mix drinks. So we thought we would share some of the most requested ones here along with some of our favorites.

Making mix drinks is not very difficult and can be a lot of fun. It really is as easy as following a simple recipe. When you make the drink yourself you can tweak things to your personal taste, cut back the ratio for a little less alcohol or maybe you are a little heavy on the pour. The key is keep it simple, too many ingredients sometimes doesn’t work so well in the end. You will find most drink recipes are made up of three basic ingredients: spirit, mixer and ice. When you put it all together you typically want to add the alcohol last, just in case there is a mistake we don’t want that going down the drain.

When starting a bar at home, it's easy to get carried away. But there are only a few things you really need to serve quality drinks for yourself or a group: a shaker, strainer, bar spoon and jigger.

Martini 

Ingredients:

1 1/2 oz Gin
3/4 oz Dry Vermouth
1 whole olive (we like Pimento olives) or twist of lemon

Mixing instructions:

In a mixing glass half-filled with ice cubes crushed or cracked ice works best, combine the gin and vermouth. Stir well or if you feel like 007 give it a shake. Strain into a cocktail glass with an olive. If you prefer a less salty flavor use a lemon twist in place of the olive,

If you would like a sweeter Martini substitute Sweet Vermouth 

for a Dirty Martini add a few splashes of olive juice before stirring, garnish with an extra olive or two.
