Which drink requires chill glass, a shaker with vermouth and ice, 10 count vodka, and olives on top?

• A. Martini Straight Up
• B. Dirty Martini
• C. Martini on the Rocks
• D. Appletini

Answer: (A)

This question focuses on how a vodka martini served straight up is put together and presented. A chilled glass means the drink will be served in a stemmed martini glass kept cold so it stays crisp without diluting from ice in the glass. Building the drink in a shaker with vermouth and ice flavors the vodka while cooling it, and then pouring (straining) into the chilled glass yields a smooth, vodka-forward profile. The 10 count of vodka gives the strength typical of a martini, while the olives on top are the classic garnish that completes the look and aroma of a traditional martini. If it were a dirty martini, you’d expect olive brine to be added, giving a saltier, cloudier drink. If it were served on the rocks, it would come in a rocks glass over ice instead of a chilled martini glass, changing the mouthfeel and dilution. An Appletini is a fruit-forward cocktail using apple flavors (and usually no vermouth or olive garnish).
