BEAUTIFUL BLUE VODKA MARTINI
This is a BEAUTIFUL drink that I fell in love with at one of our local sports bars. This was only my 2nd Martini to ever try. I really like vodka and this one had vodka so I tried it. It is very pretty and at restaurants where I order it, everyone, including the servers remark on how pretty it is. It is BRIGHT blue. So even if you don't like it you'll enjoy looking at it! It is not real sweet so if you like sweet and don't like the taste of vodka then you might not like it. It's all alcohol so it only takes 2-3 at the most but it's a good party drink. Just be sure to sip it slowly! I really hope you like it. If you don't really like vodka martinis, please don't try it and hate it, and then give me a bad rating. I take my ratings very seriously. Thanks! Also, you can add a drop of Grenadine (red) at the end, which will drop to the bottom of the Martini glass and will look like a purple ball. Adds a nice, sweet, appetizing touch. This recipe makes enough for two or more martinis. Downsize for your needs.

VODKA MARTINI
Steps:

- Add lemon peel or olive.
Tips:
- Use high-quality vodka. The quality of your vodka will greatly impact the taste of your martini. Look for a vodka that is smooth and has a clean flavor.
- Use fresh vermouth. Vermouth is a fortified wine that adds complexity and depth of flavor to a martini. Be sure to use fresh vermouth that has not been opened for more than a month.
- Chill your ingredients. Chilling your vodka, vermouth, and glass will help to create a refreshing and flavorful martini.
- Stir, don't shake. Shaking a martini will bruise the ice and dilute the drink. Stirring is the gentler method and will help to preserve the flavor of the ingredients.
- Garnish with a twist of lemon or an olive. A twist of lemon or an olive is the classic garnish for a martini. It adds a touch of flavor and elegance to the drink.
Conclusion:
The vodka martini is a classic cocktail that is enjoyed by people all over the world. It is a simple drink to make, but it can be difficult to get it just right. By following the tips above, you can create a perfect vodka martini that you and your friends will love.
