Grab your cocktail shaker and fill it half with cracked ice. Gradually pour in 2 oz of your favourite vodka and 1/2 oz of dry vermouth into your cocktail shaker. Shake it well for few seconds until all ingredients mix thoroughly. Set it aside for few seconds. You will want a nice smooth texture to the mixture so be sure to check the consistency while shaking. Also, do not use too much ice as this will make your cocktail very watery. If you want your cocktail to be a little light then reduce the amount of vodka as this will not have a dramatic impact on the overall taste of this recipe.
