• Pour a thimble full of Dry Vermouth into a martini glass, swirl it around the glass, then “throw it out.”

• Put large, very frozen ice cubes in a cocktail shaker, add two shots (this will make a double) of Premium Vodka into the shaker, cover and gently shake – about 10 shakes. This will chill the Vodka, and give it a translucent tint when poured.

• Pour the vodka into the martini glass• Garnish with olives or lemon twist• To make a dirty martini, add a bit of olive

prepared margarita glass and top your drink with a “healthy float” of Grand Marnier.
