I stumbled across the perfect martini ingredients on a wine tour in Napa and a liquor store search in Atlanta. Charbay has amazing wines and the best tasting vodka I've ever had. A dry martini is only two ingredients and honestly I could forgo the other and drink this straight. There are times when I feel like holding my pinky in the air when I drink though, so below is a martini recipe for such occasions.

First and foremost, any martini recipe that doesn't specify specific liquors is worthless. You can't add bad ingredients and get a good tasting martini. Here you have two options, grain or potato. The grain option is better but the potato is a close second and often easier to find. The Vermouth on the other hand is extremely difficult and I've only found one that fits the bill, the 2018 Massican Dry White Vermouth. I got lucky and found it while looking for something new in a local liquor store. There may be others that are just as good but I haven't found them yet.

*Note: If this is your drink do yourself a favor and buy a unique or at least nice cocktail shaker and a set of nice martini glasses. If they don't help you enjoy the craft more they will at least help you look good doing it.
