A vodka martini is a classic cocktail and easy to make with just vodka, dry vermouth, and ice. Serve in a chilled martini glass and garnish with olives or a lemon twist for an elegant cocktail at home.
James Bond loves vodka martinis and we do too! Sometimes you just can't beat a classic, and an elegant, refreshing vodka martini is certainly a classic.
A dirty martini means the cocktail contains olive brine (in addition to the olive garnish). This martini is not dirty, but you could easily make it dirty by adding half an ounce of olive brine.
Combine the vodka and dry vermouth in a mixing glass with ice. Stir until chilled, then strain into a chilled martini glass.
Perfect, simple vodka martini recipe. First time martini drinker (my wife) liked it. Use a high quality vodka - I used Russian Standard Platinum. Easy, tastes great," says Tacketts Mill Farm.
This is the perfect vodka martini. There are lots of variations on the ratios of vermouth to vodka, but I've found I like this best.
Both my husband and I have never had a martini before so we really do not know what if it compares to anything but we really like it.
