Ingredients for a Classic Vodka Martini

To make the perfect martini, quality ingredients are key. Here’s what you’ll need:

• 2 oz Weber Ranch Vodka
• 0.25 oz Dry Vermouth (we recommend Dolin)
• Ice (fresh and cold)
• Garnish: Lemon twist

Optional: A dash of orange bitters (for a modern twist)

Step-by-Step: How to Make the Perfect Vodka Martini

1. Chill your glass.
Start by placing a martini glass in the freezer for at least 10 minutes. A cold glass keeps your martini crisp and refreshing.

2. Fill a mixing glass with ice.
Use plenty of ice—this ensures your cocktail gets properly chilled without over-dilution.

3. Add vodka and vermouth.
Pour 2 oz of Weber Ranch Vodka and .25 oz of dry vermouth into the mixing glass.

4. Stir (or shake!)
Stir gently for about 30 seconds. Stirring maintains clarity and a silky texture—perfect for showcasing Weber Ranch Vodka’s smoothness.

5. Strain into your chilled glass.
Use a Hawthorne strainer to pour the martini into your glass without ice.

6. Garnish with style.
Add a lemon twist for brightness or a green olive for a savory touch. Either complements the vodka beautifully.
