Preparation time: 1 minute. Serves 1

Ingredients:

• 2 1/2 ounces vodka (this martini is almost all vodka, so the vodka should be good)

Instructions:

• Pour vodka and vermouth into mixing glass

• Place your choice of garnish in a martini glass and pour the vodka mixture gently over the garnish
• Strain into your Martini glass
