Vodka Martini
A Vodka Martini is often served “dirty” which means olive juice is added. Also known as a Vodkatini or a Kangaroo Cocktail, this simple classic is more commonly ordered than a Classic Martini; although i love them both.
Elements
ICE
2 OUNCES VODKA
1/2 OUNCE DRY VERMOUTH
LEMON TWIST OR GREEN COCKTAIL OLIVE
Directions
Shake the ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice and strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
Run the lemon peel around the rim, twist it over the drink, and drop it in or garnish with an olive.
TIP: You may shake a Vodka Martini. It is not proper to shake a Classic Martini made with gin, as it will bruise the gin.
