What portions do you use, vodka brand, vermouth brand?
I drink the shite out of vodka martinis but they never come out worth a frick when I make them at home.

What's your recipe?
Posted on 12/9/15 at 8:20 pm to BRgetthenet
Been pouring like 3 shots of goose
A tiny splash of vermouth (I don't have the dry, I bought the only one local store had at time)
About a 1/4 shot of olive brine
Shake the shite out of it with ice in shaker
Serve it up

Well! I'm a gin guy, but that notwithstanding, use a good vermouth (like Dolin). Makes a big difference.

Dolin
Is their an "extra dry" or dry that I needa look for?

Hate to break this to you, but if that is the vermouth you have been using, its the wrong kind. That is sweet vermouth. You want a dry vermouth for a martini (which is made with gin).
Try and find some citrus bitters in lieu of that awful olive juice you have.

Please don't use sweet vermouth. Please.

I drink only gin martinis but I coat a cold martini glass in DRY vermouth (swish a little and pour out.. Don't fight to shake every single drop out.. A miniscule amount of collection in the glass is okay). Shake gin, splash olive juice, and tons of ice until my hands can't handle the cold of the shaker. Strain. Enjoy.

Thats not a martini either. Thats a shot of ice cold gin.

I don't stir. Deal with it.

^^^^^^
What he said. I can't imagine a martini with sweet vermouth.
If you insist on vodka as opposed to proper gin, here's how I made mine before I became "enlightened "
3 oz Tito's
Capful Dolin/Cinzano/Boissiere DRY vermouth
Capful olive juice (Zatarain's is best)
Stir with ice do not shake. Strain into cocktail glass

1) don't use vodka. That's not a martini.
2) fill a glass with very cold gin (stirred, of course) and wave it in the direction of Italy

Dolin makes both dry and sweet. Get the dry for a martini.
Posted on 12/9/15 at 8:47 pm to LouisianaLady
Well since you arent making a martini and mixing a base spirit with a juice, shaking is actually preferable. So good job.

I'm not a bartender.
I bought the only vermouth at rouses that day.
Googled a quick recipe and mafe a few.
I love vodka, but absolutely love dirty vodka martinis.
I appreciate the help.
Will definitely chunk it and buy some dry vermouth.

You don't have to be a bartender to make a great martini at home. Just get the best ingredients you can. Experiment with the amount of vermouth and olive juice. Shake if you like- only difference is that it makes it cloudy. If it makes you happy do it. Stirred is classic but shaken works.
Good Luck. Then do it right and use a proper GIN.

I hear ya. I'll definitely play around with it.
I knew something was not right with the vermouth i was using.
Wasn't as good as when I order in a restaurant or bar.
Will also try gin.

Dolin/Cinzano/Boissiere are in a different league.
