I Spirit Vodka Martini

I Spirit Vodka
I Spirit Vodka is a traditional recipe from the northeastern region of Italy. It's created by distilling the highest quality grains and the best white grapes from Fruili, an area world-famous for its DOC-certified wines. Cesare Martini, grandson of Alessandro Martini of Martini & Rossi, now serves as US brand manager for I Spirit Vodka. While it can be served neat or on the rocks, you can try it for yourself in the classic martini recipe below.
