I don’t love the lavender and I don’t like the way it works with creme de Violette.

Vodka Martini
The classic gin Martini broke ground over a century ago.
One now-popular version replaced gin with vodka, and the vodka Martini sprung into existence.
Some folks love this drink, but others have rallied against this concoction.
“I don’t even think these should be allowed to be called Martinis,” Arnold says.
“They can have their own name, but not Martiniit’s too sacred.
It’s just such a disservice to the quality and joy that comes from gin martinis.
Vodka Martinis don’t deserve the same name.
Embrace 2023 with a bottle of gin.”
Gin can do way more than simply elevating a Martini.
