Answers:
Martini:
Chill a martini glass!.
Use a boston shaker filled with Ice to shake and chill 4oz!. of Gin (or vodka if its a vodka martini)
Coat the inside of the chilled martini glass with dry vermouth by swirling it around in the glass!.!.!.dump the extra out!.
Strain the Gin or Vodka into the chilled martini glass
Add Two olives as a garnish!.
Dry Martini:
Sam recipe as above, but add a dash of the dry Vermouth instead of coating the whole glass!.
Dirty Martini:
Same as the regular Martini but add a half ounce to an ounce of olive juice, depending on how dirty the customer wants it!.
Here is my general post about bartending:
Don't go to bartending school (i!.e!. don't waste the money) unless the job you are applying to requires such an endevour (usually only hotels and casinos ask for that kind of stuff)
also, most states don't require a license either!. Depending on what state you live in you need ot make sure of the age requirements (most states require that you are 21 years old and that's it, some want you to get a state license!.!.!.etc!.!.!.) Just check the laws for your state (google bartending laws and the name of your state)!.
The most important thing that you should do is pick up the Bartender's Black Book (you can usually find it at a local package store, if not order it from Amazon)!. It has thousands of recipes, Plus all the basics, terms, and measurements you need to memorize immediately!. Learning your pour count, knowing how to make a Long Island, a Martini, a Cosmo, how to tap a keg, etc!.!.!.
Other than knowing how to pour drinks and serve drinks quickly, the main thing a bartender has to do is listen/talk to people!. Make sure you are a people person!. You have to love to listen too, especially to drunks!. You also want to be up to date on local stuff (where the best entertainment spots are, the nearest hotel, the cab's number, etc!.!.!.) You also need to have at least two jokes you can pull from memory!. One dirty, and one you could tell your mother!. Both have to be funny!. also be up to date on all sports scores, especially on local teams!. Know who is playing who and at what time (make sure to have it on the TV too)!.
When starting out, it may be tough to get a job!. The best thing to do is to apply to all the places that cycle through bartenders/barbacks a lot (like restaurants, hotel bars, etc!.!.!.) Then find bars that you like personally and become somewhat of a regular at those places!. Get to know the other bartenders, owners, managers, and then in a few months drop the line that you would be willing to work for them!. Start out as a barback and work your way up!. Most small bars are run like families anyway!. You will have to know your fellow employees well!. That is how I got my first two bartending jobs and eventually made it to bar manager!.
Bartending is an extremely fun job!. You will meet tons of people and hear lots of interesting stories!. Plus you will know alcohol better than the back of your hand!. I find it to be quite rewarding when it comes to the bank account too!.
Have fun and good luck!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

A dry (not day) martini is just vermouth and gin!. A dirty martini has olive juice added!. The general term martini can mean either of them, although usually I think of it as referring to a dry martini, as people usually specify "dirty martini"!.
How dry a martini is depends on how much vermouth is in the martini!. I usually use a 2:1 ratio, but older recipes usually called for 3:1!.
Martinis are supposed to be made with gin, not vodka, although you will often see them made with vodka!.
Technically you are supposed to stir, not shake, martinis!. However, James Bond did a great job of spreading an incorrect rumor :PWww@FoodAQ@Com

It is a martini that has the olive juice in it!.

Edit: No, lucky, you do not need a license!. If you take a mixology class you do have a better job of getting hired though!. My uncle got promoted from bouncer to bartender without taking any classes!.

A basic Martini is gin and a splash of vermouth served with a green olive as a garnish!. A dry Martini foregoes the vermouth!. A "dirty Martini" has added juice from the olive jar!Www@FoodAQ@Com
A regular Martini is made with Dry Vermouth
A dry Martini means less Dry Vermouth
And a dirty Martini is made with olive juice
