Ingredients

60ml vodka
10ml dry vermouth

FOR THE GARNISH (optional)

1 pickled green chilli
1 big green pitted olive

plus 10ml olive brine
1 small smoked eel fillet

Method

step 1

If using the garnish, wrap the chilli around the olive and eel, and spear through the middle with a cocktail stick.
step 2

Chill a couple of martini glass in the freezer for a few minutes. Pack ice into a cocktail shaker or small jug and pour over the vodka, vermouth and olive brine.
step 3

Stir with a bar spoon until icy cold – this will take a couple of minutes. If including, put the garnish into the glass and strain the vodka mixture on top.
