How to Prepare Martini with Vodka
Now for the garnish. If you’re doing a lemon twist, cut a small strip of lemon peel (no white pith—it’s bitter). Twist it over the drink so the oils spray onto the surface, then drop it in. It’s like a tiny citrus confetti cannon.
If you’re doing olives, spear two or three on a toothpick and lay them in the glass. They bob around like little green floaties. Big tip: never use stuffed olives with pimentos—they’re fine, but a blue cheese-stuffed olive? Now you’re talking luxury.
And there you have it—a crystal-clear, ice-cold, dangerously sippable Vodka Martini. The whole process takes about 90 seconds, which is faster than finding a show to watch on Netflix. You did it. You’re now officially a home mixologist.
