Tips:
- Choose the right vodka: Use a premium vodka for the best flavor. Look for vodkas that are made with high-quality ingredients and have a smooth, clean taste.
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh lemon juice and lime juice are essential for making a great Arclight Martini. Avoid using bottled or concentrated juices, as they can have a bitter taste.
- Chill your ingredients: Chilling the vodka, lemon juice, and lime juice before making the martini will help to create a more refreshing drink.
- Don't overshake the martini: Overshaking the martini can cause it to become cloudy and dilute the flavor. Shake the martini just until the ingredients are combined.
- Garnish with a lemon twist: A lemon twist is the classic garnish for an Arclight Martini. It adds a pop of color and flavor to the drink.
