\n* Chill martini glass.
\n* Fill the chilled martini glass with ice cubes
\n* Pour vermouth over the ice cubes. Doesn’t matter how much.
\n* Fill a pint glass with ice cubes
\n* Pour two shots of vodka (Stoli works nicely well) over the ice cubes. Stir or swirl.
\n* Cut a slice out of the lemon and remove the flesh, leaving you with a semicircle of lemon rind.
\n* Swirl the vermouth in the martini glass, and then dump it and the ice cubes in the sink.
\n* Put seven olives in the martini glass.
\n* Strain the vodka into the martini glass. A fork works fine if you’re using ice cubes.
\n* Twist the lemon rind slice over the surface of the drink. This will mist a bit of lemon oil onto the surface. Discard the rind.
\n* Serve.<\/p>\n
