Few drinks are as quietly sophisticated as a properly made dry martini, and this version is as clean and stripped-back as it gets. Just vodka, dry vermouth, and ice โ nothing hiding in the glass, no mystery additives, no seed oils lurking in a pre-made mix. For anyone keeping a close eye on what goes into their body, cocktails can actually be a surprisingly easy win when you build them from scratch like this. The technique here matters: stirring rather than shaking gives you a silky, crystal-clear drink with just the right amount of dilution, and chilling the glass first keeps it cold from the very first sip. A lemon twist adds a bright, aromatic finish by expressing the natural citrus oils right over the surface, while a couple of briny cocktail olives take it in a savory, classic direction. Either way, you're in full control of every ingredient in the glass โ which is exactly the point.
