Fill a cocktail mixing glass or jar with ice. Pour in pickle vodka and vermouth. Stir until ice cold.
Pour the vodka and vermouth mixture into a martini glass, while holding back the ice.
Garnish with 2 or 3 cornichons (or other tiny pickles) and serve.
Notes
Pickle martinis are best when they are ice cold. In addition to swirling pickle vodka and vermouth over ice, this cocktail is especially nice in a chilled martini glass.Since this cocktail is basically straight alcohol, keep in mind that it's very strong. Imbibe carefully.Vermouth is a fortified wine. Once opened, store it in the refrigerator. It's best enjoyed within 1 to 3 months after opening. If your vermouth is older than that, I recommend getting a fresh bottle for this cocktail.
