Trifecta martini

This is a strong martini. If you are enjoy a "brain cleaning" sensation, you'll love this drink. I find that this martini is a great prelude to a big meal. This martini requires a few days of preperation, and it will be well worth the wait.

Ingredients

• 1 bottle of Blavod black vodka.
• 1 horseradish root. Dont use the prepared stuff--get a fresh root.
• 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper.
• 2 teaspoons of olive brine.
• 2 ounces of dry vermouth.
• 6 bleu cheese stuffed olives.

The mix

• Wash and peel your horseradish root and shave off about a 1/2 cup of slivers. Make room in the bottle of Blavod (hmm...) and stuff those slivers into the bottle. Cap it and allow it to steep in the refrigerator for a minimum of two days.
• Measure 12 ounces of your horsey Blavod and add it along with the vermouth to a shaker 1/2 full of cracked ice.
• Lid your shaker and shake, swirl, shake, swirl. No need for any aerobic type shaking with this cocktail.
• Strain your cocktail into two well chilled martini glasses.
• Each glass gets one teaspoon of olive brine and three bleu cheese stuffed olives.
• Sprinkle a tiny bit of cayenne pepper into each glass.
• Sip very slowly and get ready for a rush!
