Vodka Infusion
Martini Preparation
Method
Vodka Infusion
Prepare the Horseradish
Peel and finely grate the fresh horseradish root using a grater or food processor.
Infuse the Vodka
In a clean glass jar, combine the grated horseradish with the vodka. Seal the jar tightly and shake gently to mix.
Let it Sit
Allow the mixture to infuse for at least 24 hours at room temperature. For a stronger flavor, let it infuse for up to 3 days, shaking the jar gently every day.
Strain the Mixture
After the infusion period, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean bottle to remove the horseradish solids.
Martini Preparation
Prepare the Glass
Chill a martini glass by filling it with ice water and letting it sit while you prepare the drink.
Mix the Martini
In a cocktail shaker, add the horseradish-infused vodka, dry vermouth, and ice cubes. Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled.
Garnish
Add a lemon twist and an olive or pickle as garnish before serving.
