Emulsifier Free Vodka Martini (Dry)

There is something timelessly elegant about a properly made dry martini, and this version is about as clean and pure as cocktails get. The entire drink is built from just vodka, dry vermouth, and ice — no syrups, no pre-made mixes, no mystery additives that can sneak emulsifiers into your glass. For anyone navigating additive sensitivities, that simplicity is genuinely refreshing, since bottled cocktail mixers and flavored spirits are common culprits for unwanted ingredients. The technique here does a lot of the heavy lifting: stirring rather than shaking gives you a silky, crystal-clear drink with just the right amount of dilution. Chilling the glass beforehand keeps every sip ice-cold from the first to the last. A pinch of expressed lemon peel over the surface adds a bright citrus note without any additional ingredients, or a couple of briny olives on a pick give it that classic savory finish. It's the kind of cocktail that feels like a small luxury on a weeknight and a showstopper when you're entertaining.
