Martini recipe. And then, on the other side, we have the classic vodka martini. Most cocktail drinkers regard it as being quite flavorless, but you can’t argue that despite being more on the neutral side, it’s actually quite smooth and seems to work just fine with dry vermouth.

Like its gin-forward predecessor, the vodka martini cocktail recipe is endlessly customizable. Tweak the ratio of vodka to vermouth for a wet or dry martini; split the dry vermouth with sweet vermouth to make a “perfect martini” with vodka; season orange bitters and finish with a twist of lemon peel; add a splash of olive juice to make it a dirty martini—if you go for olive brine, ditch the lemon twist and garnish with fat green olives instead. Serve in a chilled martini glass or coupe.
