One of my beliefs is that everyone should have a strong understanding of how to make or do some basic things. Some of these are recipes or foods. Some are DIY or home projects. A classic vodka martini is a key example of a simple drink that’s oh so elegant.

How to make a classic Dirty Vodka Martini cocktail

Just about anyone you talk to has a quip about a martini. Usually it’s related to James Bond, and the “Shaken, not Stirred” line. Contrary to popular belief, a martini should be stirred, not shaken. I know, mind blown, right?!?!  How could a suave and debonair gentleman be so wrong about something like that?

See? That’s why we’re helping you learn about some of these basics, like a classic old fashioned cocktail. You’ll not only expand your repertoire, but you’ll impress your friends, too.  I call that a win.

Dirty Classic Vodka Martini Recipe

What makes this martini dirty? It’s the olive juice!  If you prefer a dry martini, you can simply omit it.
