Vodka Martini

Cold, clean, classic

Glass Cocktail
Method Stirred
Garnish lemon twist or olive

The Martini's smoother cousin. Vodka trades gin's botanical bite for clean, cold neutrality, letting the chill and the dilution do the talking. A blank canvas that lives or dies by how cold you keep it.

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 oz Vodka
  • 1/2 oz Dry Vermouth

Method

Add vodka and dry vermouth to a mixing glass filled with ice. Stir for 20-30 seconds until thoroughly chilled. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a lemon twist or an olive.
