Let's skip the pleasantries and get to the point. This week, you're drinking a Martini.

How to make a Vodka Martini:

Steep vodka with juniper berries and botanicals for 2 weeks. Add one dash orange bitters, .5 oz of dry vermouth and 2.5 oz of prepared vodka into a stirring glass half filled with ice. Stir until chilled. Strain into a stemmed cocktail glass and garnish with a lemon twist.

How to make a Vesper Martini:

Only shake this if you’re the titular character of an espionage film, or are making the drink in the back seat of Jeep that’s fallen off a precipice.

How to make Churchill/Hitchcock Martini:

Pour 4 oz gin into a stirring glass half filled with ice. Stir gin while glancing at an unopened bottle of vermouth. Strain into a cocktail glass and garnish with a lemon twist. If no vermouth is available, just picturing it in your mind will suffice.
