90 ml Very cold Vodka of your choice
1 tsp Vermouth
2 Olives

The Basic Vodka Martini is an age-old martini recipe – a popular variation of the gin martini. There are many subtly different ways to make a martini, and you’ll notice no two bartenders offer the same taste. We offer you this martini recipe as a base for your own subtle changes.

Pour the vodka into a cocktail shaker. Shake it up (some prefer to stir) .. about 20 full body shakes should do the trick. Let stand for a moment. While waiting, pour the vermouth into a cold martini glass. Swirl vermouth (for a dry martini, you can then pour out the vermouth). Strain the vodka into your glass, add an olive and tickle your pallet.
