vodka martini
Bond's preferred cocktail
A vodka martini is a cocktail of vodka and dry vermouth, served chilled in a stemmed glass, typically garnished with an olive or lemon twist.
It's a variation of the classic gin martini, with vodka substituted as the base spirit.
The drink gained cultural prominence through James Bond's preference for it "shaken, not stirred": She ordered a vodka martini, extra dry.
