7 ) The Classic–Grey Goose Martini, slightly dirty
Editor’s Choice
Ingredients:
-2 oz Grey Goose Vodka
-splash of olive juice
-hint of vermouth
-blue cheese stuffed olives (not shown in picture)
Fill martini glasses with ice water, set aside. Fill shaker with vodka and a splash of olive juice (better to add too little than too much). Shake (or roll between your hands, whatever your preference) the shaker until vodka is chilled and ice crystals are forming. Empty ice water out of the now extra-chilled glasses. Swirl a splash of vermouth in the glass, dump out (just want the essence). Fill glass, add olives. Enjoy!
