Do you have to mix anything with the martini you buy in a bottle?

Question

Or is it already a martini?

(Im asking for my sister)

Answer 1

If it was purchased in a liquor store or package store then no you should not have to add anything, but if you purchased in the grocery store it may be just a mixer and need the alcohol added.  The label should tell you if it is made with the alcohol in it.

I just tried the pre-mixed Smirnoff Pomegranate Martinis and they are delicious!  I did add a splash of sprite and a lime wedge, but that's just my preference.

Answer 2

Premade "martini's" come ready and ready to go.   Just add some crushed ice and perhaps an olive or a slice of lime.  I so adore martinis...now they have so many flavors.....apple, chocolate, pomegranate, peppermint, every flavor under the sun....but truthfully I prefer just the regular old martini with an olive......It should just need to be chilled (read the contents on the bottle to see if alcohol is included...if not you'll need some gin).  Call me when cocktails are ready....I'll bring the snacks!!!

Peace & Love  :)

Answer 3

I imagine it would depend on the brand and the particular individual's tastes.  To my knowledge most pre-mixed martinis are just the additions though, not the booze, so in that case you'd also need gin or vodka.

Answer 4

A martini has no ingredients besides alcohol and ice, does it?

I would suggest you avoid any pre-made martini. Martini drinkers won't like it, so who the heck is going to drink it?

Buy some good gin or vodka and a little dry vermouth, and some olives- and ice. Pour a shot of the gin or vodka in a glass full of ice. Now in your martini glass, pour in a few drops of dry vermouth, swirl in the vermouth in the glass, then pour it out. Now strain the gin or vodka into the martini glass, garnish with olive or orange peel. Enjoy!
