Ingredients: 60 ml vodka; 15 ml dry vermouth; ice cubes

Beloved by Bond, Churchill and Dorothy Parker, the vodka martini has the simplicity of any good cocktail, but with a variety of twists – dry, with only a dash of vermouth; wet, with plenty of vermouth; or dirty, with a dash of olive brine. For this classic version, be sure to keep your chosen vodka in the freezer – martinis should be served as ice cold as possible.

Nick Grimshaw prepared this recipe for Angela Hartnett and guest Annie Mac on episode 14, season 2 of Dish, the Waitrose podcast. It was served with scallops with ginger-spiced lemon butter and pickled carrots.
