How to Make a Martini After a visit to Italy, Kathy was inspired to create these marinated olives and grappa and lemon infused vermouth. What better way to bring a bit of Tuscany into an ice cold martini? You can use any type of olive you prefer and they only get better the longer they are marinated. A bowl of the marinated olives makes a great party snack as well!
