Chestnut Free Vodka Martini (Dry)
Few cocktails carry the same quiet confidence as a perfectly made dry martini. This version keeps things bracingly simple — just vodka, dry vermouth, and ice — so the quality of what's in your glass is never in question. Stirring rather than shaking gives you that silky, crystal-clear texture that makes the first sip genuinely satisfying. Chilling the glass ahead of time is a small step that makes a big difference, keeping every drop cold from the first sip to the last. The garnish choice is yours: a lemon twist adds a bright, citrusy lift, while a couple of briny olives push the whole thing in a savory, cocktail-hour direction. With nothing but clean, straightforward ingredients, there's no hidden complexity to worry about — just a classic drink done right.
