Glass Guide- Cocktail Glass

A wonderful variation of a Vodka Martini. The key to this Martini is that both the vodka and cocktail glass are well chilled. Use premium brands of spirits like Martini & Rossi Extra Dry vermouth and Wyborowa vodka.

Ingredients:

  • dash of premium dry vermouth
  • 1/2 cup premium grain vodka, frozen
  • lemon wedge

Preparation:

  1. Chill a cocktail glass.
  2. Pour the dry vermouth and vodka into the glass.
  3. Twist the lemon wedge over the drink.
  4. Run the lemon wedge around the rim of the glass.

martini with punch, Member hlf45

I think the idea is ok. However I did not like it as much as the the good old Dry martini. shaken not stired with Bombay and vermouth swirled around in the glass then emptied , the gin should be chilled with a film of ice across the top. and garnish with an olive. This is a great martini and wil always be enjoyed by the person that truly loves a good martini. The Crown martini is also a good martini as is the amaretto martini.
