In a mixing glass or cocktail shaker, combine the vodka and dry vermouth.
Add the ice cubes to the shaker or mixing glass.
Stir the mixture gently for about 30 seconds until well-chilled. If using a shaker, you can also shake vigorously for about 15 seconds.
Discard the ice water from the martini glass and strain the vodka martini into the chilled glass.
Garnish with a lemon twist by twisting it over the drink to express the oils, then drop it into the glass. Alternatively, you can garnish with an olive.
Serve immediately and enjoy your classic vodka martini.
