    • Pumpkintini aka Pumpkin Martini Recipe (shown above)

    🤔 shaken or stirred?

    A cocktail that is shaken will cool more quickly than one that is stirred. Shaking also changes the texture by aerating the drink with tiny bubbles, which are suspended within the drink causing a cloudy appearance. If you are looking for a crystal-clear cocktail, stirring is your best option.

    As a general rule, drinks that contain eggs, cream, or milk should always be shaken.

    🍸 how to hold a martini glass

    To avoid heating your perfectly chilled cocktail, it is best to hold your drink by the stem and not the bowl. Use the other hand to cradle the base for added stability.

    🍸 Best vodkas for martinis

    These top-shelf vodkas are the perfect choice for smooth, unflavored martinis. For flavored martinis choose the best quality that you can afford.
