Fred Astaire in a glass? That’s right folks, it’s the world’s most underrated cocktail, serially disregarded by “serious” drinkers. But not us — not here at Cocktail College! To the Vodka Martini, we’re devoting more than an hour of hot takes, technical insight, and cultural analysis with none other than Tony Abou-Ganim. Calling in from Las Vegas, the author of “Vodka Distilled: The Modern Mixologist on Vodka and Vodka Cocktails" teaches us to leave our prejudices at the door and embrace the very spirit of hospitality. Listen on (or read below) to learn Tony’s Vodka Martini recipe — and don’t forget to like, review, and subscribe!    Tony Abou-Ganim’s Vodka Martini Recipe    Ingredients + Description:    Choose your favorite vodka; opt to drink it straight out of the freezer or stirred (or shaken) with ice, and with or without vermouth. Garnish with — you’ve guessed it — whatever you feel like in the moment. Just make sure the glassware is on point!    Helen David Relief Fund:    TAG Spirits: https://tagspiritsawards.com/the-helen-david-relief-fund/  USBG: https://www.usbgfoundation.org/hdrf  IG: https://www.instagram.com/thehdrf/?hl=en      Hosted on Acast.
