      Vodka brings nothing to a martini, fight me.

      I also like to stir for 25 seconds, leave for a minute or two, and then strain into a chilled glass. No ice in the actual drink.

      2 olives and lemon peel garnish.

      a classic Martini

        I like a milder taste. The vodka softens the gin without watering the drink down.
