Classic cocktails can be surprisingly tricky territory when you're avoiding yeast, since many mixers, flavored spirits, and even some garnish brines can introduce unwanted fermented ingredients. This one keeps things clean and elegant โ just vodka, dry vermouth, and ice, stirred together with a little technique and care. The method matters here: chilling your glass ahead of time and stirring (not shaking) for a full 30 seconds gives you that silky, perfectly diluted texture that makes a great martini so satisfying. A lemon twist adds a bright citrus pop as the oils hit the surface of the drink, while a couple of cocktail olives bring a briny, savory note if that's more your style. It's the kind of drink that feels like a small luxury on a weeknight, and it comes together in under five minutes with just a handful of ingredients you likely already have on hand.
