Notes

  • Break out this classic martini recipe during the holiday season. It can be made ahead of time so that your guests can garnish and serve themselves, leaving you more time to mingle.
  • Be sure to use chilled cocktail glasses.
  • Choose high-quality ingredients. Absolut Vodka is a great choice for a smooth and crisp taste.
  • Keep the ingredients cold.
  • Stir, don't shake: Unlike James Bond's famous "shaken, not stirred" request, stirring the ingredients in a mixing glass with ice is the traditional way to make a vodka martini. This method creates a smooth, velvety texture and prevents over-dilution of the drink.
  • Strain and garnish: Strain the cocktail into a chilled martini glass and garnish with a lemon twist or olive. Run the lemon peel around the rim of the glass for an extra burst of flavor.
