Dan’s Favorite Martini

With the holidays coming up and 2020 fighting back in full swing I thought I’d share with you my favorite but simple martini recipe!

Here’s what you’ll need:

• 2.5oz Vodka
• 0.5oz Extra Dry Vermouth
• 5 dashes Orange Bitters
• Lemon Zest

If I’m having a vodka martini I always go for Grey Goose but you can use what ever brand you prefer. I also picked up a bottle of pomander orange bitters from the liquor store to try.

This is a simple one. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Pour in your vodka, vermouth, and bitters. Shake shake shake. Strain into your favorite martini vessel. I like to add a “twist” of lemon to my martini. To do this I take a veggie peeler to a lemon and peel a layer of skin off and try to leave behind any of the bitter white pith.

I hope you enjoy!

Cheers,

Dan
