The ingredients

• Vermouth - It's bad, flavored wine. Don't go nuts.
• Olives with brine - Some people don't like the saltiness, and you're free to leave it out, but it really helps the overall mix.
• Vodka - Don't fuck around. Stoli or better only.
• Ice - As long as it's flavorless, you're good. Avoid the cubes that have been in your fridge for 2 weeks.

You'll need a cocktail shaker, strainer, and optionally, a small sieve.

Preparation

First off, grab a cocktail glass and fill it with ice and water. This chills it so your drink stays colder, longer. Put that aside, and into your shaker put in a dash of vermouth. Swirl it around fairly aggresively, then dump it out. You're only going to use the residue in the shaker to make this drink. Now, put in a dash of the olive brine. Add a good handful of ice. Now add a 9-count of you vodka. Shake well.

Onto the glass. Dump out the ice water, and then stab an olive with a toothpick or the like. Put it in the glass. Strain or better yet, sieve the mixture into the glass. Enjoy!
