Keto Friendly Vodka (Gibson) Martini

A Vodka Martini with onions.

Ingredients:
martini glass
ice
shaker container
4 ounces (1/2 cup) good quality vodka (I use Costco's Kirkland Brand or Skyy Vodka)
4 1/2 teaspoons dry vermouth (I use Cinzano Extra Dry or Noilly Prat Extra Dry Vermouth)
cocktail onions or green olives**

Method:
Place ice in a shaker container. Add the vodka and vermouth. Shake until chilled and then pour into the martini glass. Skewer 2 to 4 cocktail onions or green olives and add to the cocktail. Serve immediately and enjoy.

**Use the condiment that you prefer. (My aunt likes onions and I prefer garlic or blue cheese stuffed green olives.) Jalapeno stuffed or plain green olives my also be used.

Notes: 

Traditionally, a Gibson is garnished with pickled onions and a Martini is garnished with green olives.

Shaking causes the ice to chill and dilute the alcohol a little, which blends and mellows the drink.
