The correct term for a Vodka Martini. That is, a Dry Martini made with vodka instead of gin, and usually with a slightly higher ratio of vermouth as well.

Made famous, under its more usual name, by James Bond.

With the understanding that this adult beverage is a mélange of a dirty martini, vodkatini, and vesper, I couldn't help but share it anyway with more of the world as it is my daughter's. (She shared originally via social media.) I have yet to tell her in person that vodka martini is a misnomer but, here in print, I don't have an issue. I also didn't edit for content or clarity because, as with anything deemed "perfect" in the food and beverage world, perfection is subjective. Practice, experiment, take notes. Drink responsibly, enjoy, and be in joy.

The following assumes one already has a certain level of cocktail preparation knowledge.




Z's Perfect Martini



Sometimes you just need a perfect martini:

Stir with ice; do not shake.

Strain into a chilled cocktail glass and garnish with additional lemon peel and blue cheese stuffed olives.
