Unlike James Bond's favorite cocktail, this version is stirred, not shaken. Chill vodka in the freezer so it's as cold as possible.

Yield: 1 serving (serving size: about 1/3 cup)

Ingredients

• Crushed ice
• 6  tablespoons  chilled vodka
• 1/2  teaspoon  dry white vermouth
• 1  (2-inch) strip lemon rind

Preparation

Place crushed ice in a martini shaker. Add vodka and vermouth; stir.

Rub rim of a martini glass with inside of lemon rind. Twist rind; drop into glass. Strain vodka mixture in shaker into glass. Serve immediately.
