Strong Classic

Vodka Martini es una variante del martini que sustituye el gin tradicional por vodka, elaborado con vodka y vermouth seco mezclados y bien frios, filtrados en copa de martini helada y decorados con aceituna verde o piel de limon. Estrechamente ligado a la preferencia de James Bond, este coctel aporta la transparente pureza del vodka en lugar de la complejidad herbal del gin.

History & Origins

The Vodka Martini emerged in the mid-20th century as vodka began displacing gin as the dominant clear spirit in American and British bars. Its association with James Bond in the Ian Fleming novels — Bond's preferred drink though he actually specified the Vesper in Casino Royale — cemented its status as a sophisticated cultural icon from the 1960s onward. The 'shaken not stirred' controversy it inspired has become one of the most enduring debates in cocktail culture.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Clean and neutral with dry vermouth's herbal, slightly wine-like character providing the primary aromatic interest; the olive contributes a saline, briny note. Palate: Dry and spirit-forward, with vodka's clean neutrality allowing vermouth's subtle herbal complexity to be more prominent than in a vodka-only drink; the olive adds a pleasant briny counterpoint. Finish: Dry, clean, and slightly herbal with a brief olive brine finish.

Pro Tip

Stir rather than shake for a crystal-clear drink with a silkier texture; shaking bruises the vodka and creates tiny ice shards that dilute and cloud the cocktail.
