Martini

Garnish / Service

Method

Preparation

1

Chill glass

Place the martini glass in the freezer for at least 10 minutes or fill it with ice water while you prepare the cocktail. Empty the ice water just before pouring.

2

Prepare olives

Thread 3 pitted green olives onto a cocktail pick. Set aside in the refrigerator or on a small plate so they stay cold.

Mixing

3

Measure and combine

Add 2.5 oz Stoli Elite vodka and 0.5 oz dry vermouth to a cocktail shaker. If you prefer a slightly dirty martini, add 0.25 oz olive brine.

4

Add ice

Fill the shaker with enough ice to chill thoroughly (about 1 cup).

5

Shake frosty

Seal the shaker and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is frosty and very cold. This martini is specified 'shaken frosty' rather than stirred.

6

Strain

Discard any ice or water from the chilled martini glass. Double-strain the cocktail into the chilled martini glass using a fine strainer or the shaker strainer to ensure a clean, clear pour.

Finish

7

Garnish with the prepared skewer of 3 green olives placed into the drink or rested on the rim. Serve immediately while very cold.
