How To Mix A Martini As Seen In Iron Man | In The Drink

This week we're taking a look at one of the most significant films in modern history: Iron Man. The Marvel Cinematic Universe has been a watershed in changing how films are written, marketed, and mercilessly made into sequels. So to celebrate the death of the auteur and a true guilty pleasure of mine, I've mixed up the vodka martini as it appears in the first Iron Man film.
It's the end of the shooting day and I'm tired and a little tipsy. Plus, the camera stopped recording before I got to the outro and I only realised when I came to edit this episode. But I got through it, and I had a hell of a time doing it. I can't wait to get back behind the bar for more episodes in (hopefully) a couple of weeks.
Recipe:
- 2.5oz. vodka
- 0.5oz. dry vermouth
- 2 dashes of orange bitters
- Stir
- Strain into a martini glass or coupe
- Garnish with (at least) 3 olives
- Be surprised at how enjoyable it is
