Reviews
Vodka cannot make a martini. Sorry.
Great drink, I highly recommend it daily
I love ice shards. 007 and I prefer our martini shaken.
This recipe is close enough for me, especially the part about the Gin. Two rules: 1) There is only one “Martini” Gin Martini. 2) If there is a word in front of ‘Martini’ it isn’t a Martini. i.e. Vodka Martini. Appletini, Espresso Martini, Chocolate Martini…
I won’t argue the proportions, but I prefer to wave the vermouth bottle over the shaker.. My Martini is so dry the olive has dust on it.
Although gin is traditional… I love a vodka martini. Thank you for the simple recipe. I make it dirty with .5 olive juice and extra olives.
Classic! The perfect cocktail.
This is correct….
Great recipes!
Wrong!! Any bartender worth his/her weight knows: 1) Always gin. If you want vodka, you call it a ‘Vodka Martini’. 2) Always stirred, never shaken. Forget that James Bond nonsense.
I see snobbery really prevails with this drink. I agree with most of the other posters that you want to avoid ice shards by shaking and that vodka is not an ingredient in a classic martini but most about this drink is highly personal. The style of gin and the amount of vermouth. Without vermouth, you have a glass of gin (not a Martini). This recipe is generally correct. The vermouth amounts are close to my tastes but that’s personal. Stir instead of shaking
