What is the bartender tip for a Vodka Martini?
Martini is the brand; the ingredient is vermouth — a fortified wine with herbs. With 80 ml of vodka, the quality of the spirit shows: cheap vodka makes the drink harsh. The 20 to 30 seconds of stirring are the dilution, not a detail. The peel in the mixing glass and the twist instead of an olive bring out the citrus and make the profile more aromatic.
