The martini is a test of quality for any vodka. Because Absolut is crafted from winter wheat and pristine water, it provides a clean, crisp foundation that allows the subtle notes of the spirit to shine through.
To prepare, chill your glass thoroughly in the freezer. Combine two ounces of Absolut with a splash of dry vermouth in a mixing glass filled with ice. Stir gently for thirty seconds to achieve the perfect dilution and temperature.
Strain into your chilled glass and garnish with a twist of lemon peel or a single green olive. The result is a sophisticated, timeless drink that highlights the purity of the Swedish distillation process.
