Ingredients
- Premium vodka
- 2 1/2 ounces
- Dry vermouth
- 1/2 ounce
- Olives
- 2-3, for garnish
- Lemon twist
- 1, for garnish
- Ice
- as needed
Instructions
- Begin by chilling your martini glass. You can do this by filling it with ice water and letting it sit while you prepare the cocktail.
- In a cocktail shaker, add a generous amount of ice to ensure your drink is properly chilled.
- Pour in the premium vodka and dry vermouth over the ice.
- Stir the mixture gently for about 30 seconds. Stirring, rather than shaking, helps to maintain the clarity and smoothness of the drink.
- Remove the ice water from your chilled martini glass and strain the cocktail mixture into the glass using a fine mesh strainer.
- Garnish the drink with a twist of lemon, expressing the oils over the surface of the cocktail for an aromatic touch.
- Serve with 2-3 olives on a cocktail pick or directly in the glass.
