Method

Cocktail

Chill glass

Place a martini glass or coupe in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill with ice water while you prepare the cocktail to ensure it is well chilled.

Combine ingredients

In a mixing glass or cocktail shaker, add 2 oz Ketel One vodka, 0.75 oz Tanqueray Flor de Sevilla, 0.5 oz Lillet Blanc and (optional) 0.25 oz dry vermouth if you prefer a drier martini.

Add ice and (optional) brine

Fill the mixing glass with plenty of fresh ice (about 1 cup). If you want a very slight savory lift, add 1/4 tsp olive brine from the olive jar.

Stir

Using a bar spoon, stir the mixture briskly for 20–30 seconds (about 15–20 full rotations) until the outside of the mixing glass is very cold and the liquid is well diluted and silky. Stirring preserves clarity and a smoother texture compared with shaking.

Strain

Discard the ice or water from the chilled martini glass. Double-strain the cocktail into the chilled glass using a Hawthorne or julep strainer and a fine-mesh strainer to catch any small shards of ice or bits from the mixing glass.

Garnish & Serve

Skewer three jumbo pitted green olives on a cocktail pick and gently rest the pick across the rim of the martini glass, or drop the olives into the drink. Serve immediately while very cold.

Optional: serve with a small ramekin of extra olives on the side for guests who want more. Note the floral-orange notes from the Flor de Sevilla and the gentle aperitif sweetness from Lillet Blanc balance the clean vodka base—adjust the Lillet or vermouth amounts to taste.
