AVIV Classic Martini

Glass: Martini Glass

Ingredients:

• 3 oz AVIV 613 Vodka
• Splash of dry vermouth
• Garnish: Three green olives on a toothpick

Steps to Make the AVIV 613 Classic Martini:

1. Chill the Glass: Begin by placing your martini glass in the freezer for a few minutes or filling it with ice water to chill it. A properly chilled glass enhances the experience of this cold, smooth martini.
2. Prepare the Cocktail: In a mixing glass, add 3 oz of AVIV 613 Vodka, a premium vodka distilled with spiritual intent and smooth flavor. Add a splash of dry vermouth (adjust to your taste—some prefer more vermouth for a “wetter” martini, while others prefer just a hint).
3. Stir, Don’t Shake: Fill the mixing glass with ice cubes and stir gently for 30 seconds. Stirring ensures that the vodka and vermouth are well-blended without over-diluting the drink. This creates a silky, cold texture that complements AVIV 613’s natural smoothness.
4. Strain and Serve: Empty the ice from your now-chilled martini glass. Using a cocktail strainer, pour the mixture from the mixing glass into the martini glass.
5. Garnish: Spear three green olives onto a toothpick and gently rest it across the top of the martini glass. The three olives not only add a briny contrast to the smooth vodka but symbolize mind, body, and spirit—perfectly aligning with the spiritual essence of AVIV 613.

Serving and Toasting with Meaning

This martini is more than just a cocktail—it’s an invitation to reflect and connect. As you raise the glass, we invite you to make a toast that acknowledges something positive in your life. Whether it’s gratitude for the people you love or an appreciation of your own journey, every sip of AVIV 613 can be a reminder to celebrate life’s meaningful moments.

Toast to your mind—for clarity and wisdom,
To your body—for strength and resilience,
And to your spirit—for guiding you toward balance and peace.

Symbolism of the Three Olives

The three olives in a martini traditionally symbolize health, wealth, and happiness. However, with AVIV 613 Vodka’s deep spiritual significance, we reinterpret these olives as representing the mind, body, and spirit—three essential parts of every individual’s journey. By blending these elements, this drink invites introspection, balance, and connection. Each olive is a symbol of grounding yourself in the moment while embracing all aspects of your being.

A Brief History of the Vodka Martini

The martini, one of the most iconic cocktails in the world, has been beloved for over a century. Originally made with gin, the vodka martini surged in popularity in the mid-20th century, often seen as a symbol of elegance and sophistication. While its exact origins are debated, the martini became a fixture of high society, favored by world leaders and pop culture icons alike.

The switch from gin to vodka gave the drink a smoother, more refined character, appealing to a broader audience. AVIV 613 Vodka continues this tradition, offering an ultra-smooth, spiritually infused experience that takes the classic martini to a whole new level.
