Vodka Martini

Vodka Martini is better for deliberate sipping, built around clean, dry and strong. The mouthfeel is lean, light body, and the overall impression is decidedly spirit-forward. Oysters is a sensible food match when you want to order it at the table. The index points toward Oysters or Caviar at the table; Homemade Kahlua is the nearest place to continue exploring.
