With all deference, a drink made with vodka, by definition, IS NOT a martini. Martinis are made with gin.
I keep all of the ingredients for a Vesper in my fridge at all times, and imbibe often. Brutally strong drink.
Yet when I mentioned the drink at work to the guys, they give me crap saying, “Lemon peel?! Sounds like a girly drink to me.”
I can’t wait to serve them one.
I can’t make it past three of them.
