Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will have a big impact on the flavor of your martini. Use fresh fruit juices, herbs, and spices whenever possible.
- Chill your ingredients: Chilling your ingredients before making your martini will help to create a smooth, refreshing drink. You can chill your ingredients in the refrigerator or freezer, depending on how quickly you want your martini to be ready.
- Use a good quality vodka: Vodka is the base of a Cajun martini, so it's important to use a good quality vodka. Look for a vodka that is smooth and has a clean flavor.
- Don't overshake your martini: Overshaking your martini will dilute the flavor of the drink and make it watery. Shake your martini just until the ingredients are combined.
- Garnish your martini with a twist of lemon or lime: A twist of lemon or lime will add a touch of citrus flavor to your martini and make it look more appealing.
