What is the best way to serve a Valentine Martini?
A Valentine Martini is best served chilled in a cocktail glass. Ensure the glass is cold by placing it in the freezer for a few minutes before serving. This emphasizes the crisp, refreshing nature of the cocktail, making it more enjoyable.

A standard martini usually has an alcohol content of around 30% to 40%, depending on how it's made, which is slightly higher than the 29.63% alcohol content of the Valentine Martini.
