Nutmeg Free Vodka Martini (Dry)

Few cocktails are as quietly iconic as a properly made dry martini, and this vodka version is clean, cold, and deeply satisfying. The technique here is all about temperature and dilution — stirring rather than shaking keeps the drink silky and crystal-clear instead of cloudy and aerated. Chilling the glass ahead of time is a small step that makes a noticeable difference, ensuring the first sip is as bracingly cold as it should be. With just vodka, dry vermouth, and ice, the ingredient list is about as stripped-back as it gets, so there's nothing hidden to worry about — no spice blends, no pre-made mixes, no mystery additions. The garnish choice is yours: a lemon twist adds a bright citrus lift from the expressed oils, while a couple of briny cocktail olives take the whole thing in a more savory direction. Either way, you're getting a bar-quality drink made entirely at home with total control over what goes into the glass.
