This drink is called April Rain. You're going to take your glass, your ice, throw it in your glass. Two ounces of vodka, uno, dos. Then you're going to take some lime juice, probably about a half an ounce of lime juice will do. It depends on how much you like lime juice. I'm a citrus person, I kind of like the citrusy. Taste it, it's like cooking, you can taste it. Add more, take away. Now, we're going to add some vermouth. You always want to be careful with the vermouth. Maybe a half an ounce, maybe not even that much. A little goes a long, long way. Want to shake it up real good. Take the top off there. Take the glass top off, that is, that wasn't a suggestion for you people watching from home. Ahh, there we go, yeah! Take your martini glass. If you don't have a strainer, this works fine too. See, keeps the ice right out of there. Now you are going to finish garnishing this drink with a lime twist. There you go. April Rain. Cheers.
