¼ cup dry vermouth
Ice cubes
co*cktail olives, caper berries, or co*cktail onions, for garnish

Directions

Shake or stir 1/2 cup vodka or gin and 1 1/2 teaspoons vermouth in an ice-filled shaker. Strain into a chilled martini glass and garnish with olives, caper berries, or onions. Repeat with remaining vodka or gin and vermouth.
