Pescatarian Vodka Martini (Dry)
A perfectly made dry martini is one of those drinks that feels like a small luxury — cold, clean, and quietly sophisticated. This version keeps things beautifully minimal: vodka, a whisper of dry vermouth, and your choice of a lemon twist or briny cocktail olives to finish. The technique matters here, and stirring rather than shaking is what gives the drink that silky, crystal-clear texture that makes it so satisfying to sip. Chilling the glass ahead of time is a small step that makes a genuinely noticeable difference, keeping every sip as cold as the first. Since this cocktail is built entirely from spirits, vermouth, and a simple garnish, it naturally sidesteps any meat-based ingredients without any substitutions needed — it's just a great drink, full stop. Whether you go for the bright citrus note of a lemon twist or the savory punch of an olive, the finishing touch is yours to own.
