About Martini
The martini is a classic cocktail originating in the United States in the mid-to-late 19th century, becoming a staple of American mixology. Traditionally made with gin and dry vermouth, it is often garnished with an olive or lemon twist. Its nutritional profile indicates that a standard serving (approximately 3.5 ounces) contains about 190 calories, predominantly from alcohol and a minimal amount from carbohydrates and trace vitamins such as vitamin C. The martini is renowned for its sophisticated flavor profile and adaptability to individual taste preferences, such as variations with vodka or flavored vermouth.
Health Benefits
- Antioxidants from botanicals in gin, like juniper berries, can support cellular health.
- Limited vitamin C content (8 mg per serving) from lemon garnishes can contribute to immune system health.
- Contains minimal fat and fiber, making it low in macronutrients, which might align with certain dietary regimens focused on moderation.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store gin and vermouth in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Refrigerate opened bottles of vermouth for optimal freshness.
