Batched and frozen.

For their ideal vodka Martini, bartenders at The Doctor’s Office batch and dilute the drink in advance, then keep it in the freezer until ready to serve—also a useful technique at home. The single-serving formula below can easily be scaled up—just keep to the 4:1:1 ratio of vodka to vermouth and water.

Ingredients

80 ml. neutral-style vodka (The Doctor's Office uses St. George All Purpose)
20 ml. dry vermouth (such as Dolin)
20 ml. water

Tools:resealable bottle, funnel
Glass:cocktail
Garnish:lemon twist or olives

Preparation

Combine all of the ingredients in a sturdy bottle and seal. Place in the freezer for at least a few hours, until thoroughly chilled. To serve, pour into a chilled glass, then garnish.
