Vodka Martini
A timeless variation of the classic gin martini, replacing the botanical complexity of gin with the clean, crisp profile of vodka. Prepared 'shaken, not stirred' to provide an icy, refreshing texture, this elegant cocktail is perfectly complemented by the savory note of a green olive.
