Tips:
- Use high-quality vodka. This will make a big difference in the taste of your martini. Look for a vodka that is smooth and has a clean, neutral flavor.
- Use fresh lemon juice. This will give your martini a bright, citrusy flavor. Avoid using bottled lemon juice, as it can be bitter.
- Don't over-stir your martini. Stirring too much will dilute the vodka and make the martini watery. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
- Serve your martini chilled. This will help to keep the flavors of the vodka and vermouth from becoming too overpowering.
- Garnish your martini with a twist of lemon or an olive. This will add a touch of flavor and elegance to your drink.

The vodka martini is a classic cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. It is simple to make and can be customized to your own taste. Whether you like it dry, dirty, or with a twist, there is a vodka martini out there for everyone.
