A Martini you can take your time over. Vodka and dry vermouth over one large, clear ice cube, with a lemon peel wrapped around it. It stays cold and settles slowly, and Vodka 51 Connoisseur Reserve keeps its silky depth to the last sip.

How to make it

Chill a rocks glass and add one large, clear ice cube.

Pour the vodka and vermouth over the ice and stir gently for about 10 seconds.

Express a lemon peel over the glass and wrap it around the ice.

From the Master Blender

Use a single large cube. It melts slowly, so the drink stays cold and keeps its character from the first sip to the last.
