Ketel One Vodka is mixed with vermouth in this crisp, dry classic.
HISTORY
When vodka replaces the gin in a traditional Martini recipe, it’s known as a ‘Vodka Martini’, ‘Vodkatini’ or ‘Kangaroo’. The ingredients are chilled but served ‘straight up’ in a cocktail glass (i.e. without ice). This particular Martini’s origins are unclear, however it gained notoriety from the James Bond film franchise, as Agent 007 often asks for his favourite vodka martini “shaken, not stirred”.
