Would you try this Pasta Water Martini?!

This video got more than 3 million views, and a lot of vitriol, on Instagram, so let me explain!

I was making pasta for lunch last month, and while straining my noodles I couldn’t help but wonder - “would this martini?”

And that was the inspiration behind this salty gal. All I have to say is don’t knock it ‘til you try it! If you like savory, briny, dirty drinks… you’ll probably dig this!

INGREDIENTS:

  • 2.5 oz vodka

  • 1/2 oz dry vermouth

  • 1 oz pasta water, reserved

METHOD:

Step one: SALT YOUR PASTA WATER!!!

Prepare pasta according to directions on box, reserving some of the salted pasta water before straining.

Add vodka, pasta water and dry vermouth to a mixing glass with a large ice cube. Stir until chilled, then strain into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with some noodles, and enjoy!

Cheers,
Danica
