Preparation

  1. 1

    Chill the Glass

    Start by chilling your martini glass. Fill it with ice water and set it aside while you prepare the cocktail.

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz of Grey Goose vodka and 0.5 oz of Vermouth. Fill the shaker with ice.

  3. 3

    Shake or Stir

    If you prefer a shaken martini, shake the mixture vigorously for about 15 seconds. For a stirred martini, stir gently with a bar spoon for about 30 seconds.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Glass

    Empty the ice water from the chilled martini glass. Strain the cocktail mixture into the glass using a cocktail strainer.

  5. 5

    Add Garnish

    Carefully stuff each blue cheese olive with the cheese and drop them into the martini glass. You can also place them on a cocktail skewer for a more elegant presentation.
