Planning for your martini party will be extremely easy. Martinis are some of the easiest drinks that you will ever fix and some of tastiest too.

You’ll need to send out invites to all of your friends. Once they attend your martini party and tell all of their friends you’ll probably need three times as many invitations the next time.

Make sure that you have the martini ingredients on hand so you don’t have to leave during the party to pick anything up. Also, make sure you have some cute martini glasses on hand. It’s best to have a different martini glass for each guest that way they won’t get there glasses mixed up.

Here are some common ingredients for different types of martinis:

Gin
Vodka
Dry vermouth
Scotch
Angostura bitters
Maraschino Liquer
Olive brine
Bar Sugar
Orange Bitters
Mint Sprigs
Lemon Twist
Orange Twist
Grapefruit juice
Benedictine
Olives
Kiwi slices
Peppermint Schnapps
Cherry Brandy
Ice
Orange Juice
Sake

There are so many more ingredients you can choose so take a minute to think about the types of martinis that you would like to create and buy ingredients accordingly for those martinis.

Be sure to purchase napkins, several cocktail shakers and fancy martini glasses if you don’t own any, to serve your wonderful concoctions in.

Before hand prepare appetizers or light finger food dishes to serve with your martinis in case your guests are hungry.

Foods that go great with Martinis:

Salad made with romaine lettuce, bacon, apples and a vinaigrette dressing.

London broil topped with horseradish.

Large Olives

Hummus

Smoked salmon

Salted nuts

Goat cheese on crackers

Melon slices

Pickle spears

Keep in mind that your appetizers shouldn’t compete with your martinis, they should instead compliment them. For example, if you decide to serve a spicy dish then a citrus based martini would be the perfect accompaniment to help cool down the palate.

Try adding a label to the appetizer dishes that you serve that will tell your guest which food to pair with which Martini or you could create a menu that pairs each dish with a martini.
