Midge Maisel’s Martini

Say what you will about The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, but the episodes that take place in the Catskills are a feast for the eyes and a window into what these Borscht Belt resorts looked like. Though, as you know, I like my martinis with gin and a ratio of 2:1, I wanted to create a dry martini with a strong herbal quality… and a vodka base. The dill infusion works really well here.

INGREDIENTS

2¼ oz. dill-infused vodka
¾ oz. dry vermouth
10 drops saline

Garnish: discarded lemon twist, olive on a pick

---

ABV LEVEL

Combine all in a mixing glass. Add ice and stir for 20-25 seconds. Strain into a frozen Nick & Nora or martini glass. Express a lemon twist over the drink and discard. Garnish with an olive on a pick.
