 Martini with Vodka James Bond Cocktail
Classic Vodkatini - mixed, but not stirred. According to the famous phrase of James Bond. Unlike the cinematic version, where equal proportions are taken, vodka prevails in the real recipe, and vermouth only gives a shade. The drink is of course purely masculine, strong. There are also lighter options with juice.

  9. Traditionally, one olive is placed in the cocktail, although some variations include a few drops of lemon zest for added flavor and a twist of lemon zest on the glass rim. The cocktail is quite potent, typically containing 35% - 37% alcohol. Due to the highly chilled liquids, the cocktail retains distinct layers of flavors, so it's best enjoyed slowly in small sips to savor the evolving taste with each sip.

Recipe Notes

The cocktail gained widespread fame and popularity, largely thanks to its appearance in film.

However, it first emerged in the USA during the 1950s. The original creator of the recipe remains unknown. Prior to this, martinis were typically made with gin, but the combination's flavor profile, characterized by the distinct taste of wormwood and juniper, was not universally appealing. Substituting gin with vodka proved to be a game-changer – the cocktail quickly became a beloved favorite among many Americans.

Today, the Vodkatini can be found on the cocktail menus of esteemed bars and establishments worldwide.

There exist numerous variations of this cocktail, including those with added orange juice, grapefruit, cranberry juice, or even a pink martini. Additional ingredients like Schweppes, Sprite, or various liqueurs can also be incorporated.

When it comes to selecting a snack to accompany your Vodkatini, consider factors such as the cocktail itself, the specific ingredients used, and, of course, your personal preferences.

Popular Vodka accompaniments include olives, lemon slices, as well as various fruits and berries.
