According to The New York Times, and every bar you seem to walk into these days, the second coming of the martini is here with new and improved renditions. Mixologists and the 90’s are thriving right now, and for good reason. Is there anything more staple, more timeless than a martini?

Now, although martinis can be made with gin, let’s keep the focus on vodka for tradition's sake. With October 4th marking National Vodka Day, what better time to try your hand at this trend with the perfect, smooth whey-distilled base that is Broken Shed Vodka? Based out in New Zealand, Broken Shed Vodka (SRP: $29.99, buy here), will elevate any version of the cocktail you set your mind to. From the classic, to a lychee, to an espresso.

Broken Shed Vodka boasts a unique combination of spring water from the North Island and natural mineral water from an ancient aquifer in the South Island. Balancing the mineral content from both water sources with its whey distillate is key in achieving the one-of-a-kind taste that the vodka offers. Once distilled, the resulting spirit’s tasting notes include a subtle blend of citrus and freshly cut southern grass, a velvety mouthfeel, and butterscotch vanilla. It is free of additives, gluten, sugars, and GMOs, for the sole purpose of creating the best-tasting vodka. 

We are confident that the nuanced subtleties of the finish and texture of the premium New Zealand liquor will be sure to impress and elevate any martini of their choice
