Ah, the martini: Classy AF and a great way to keep booze calories to a minimum. Did we mention that it's super delicious and simple to make? We enlisted the help of Pamela Wiznitzer, USBG NY Chapter President and Creative Director at Seamstress NY (opens in new tab) in NYC, to find the best martini recipe and wow, did she come through:
Classic Martini
Ingredients: 2 parts Ménage à Trois Vodka, 1 part dry vermouth
Instructions: Stir (always stir) with ice and strain into a martini or coupe glass.
Now, if you're looking to spruce up your martini, Wiznitzer recommends trying the following:
Martini with a Twist
Ingredients: 2 parts Ménage à Trois Vodka, 1 part rosé vermouth (Wiznitzer suggests Lillet Rose or Cocchi Americano Rosa), orange bitters
Instructions: Stir with ice and strain into a martini or coupe glass. Top with three dashes of orange bitters and garnish with a grapefruit twist.
Because martinis generally have a two to one ratio of vodka to vermouth, Wiznitzer points out that it's critical to use good quality vodka, being that it's the main ingredient. So grab your best vodka, and get to shaking up the perfect TGIF drink.
