Start with a splash of dry Vermouth in a chilled martini glass. Swirl the glass to coat it with the Vermouth, immediately shake out any excess. No Vermouth should be standing in the bottom of the glass. Add 2 shots chilled vodka to a shaker partly filled with ice. Stir gently. Strain vodka into glass. Finish with a speared pair of olives.
