  • About

Rooted in Idaho’s rich potato heritage, this martini blends potato-based vodka, vermouth, and a dash of celery bitters. Serve alongside a bowl of crisp Idaho potato chips for a cocktail hour that’s a savory nod to the Gem State’s most famous export.

Ingredients

  • 3 ounces potato-based vodka
  • ½ ounce dry vermouth
  • 2 da

Method

In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine the vodka, vermouth, and bitters. Cover and shake vigorously until chilled. Strain into a chilled martini glass. Spear the olive or onion with a cocktail pick and garnish the martini with it. Serve with a bowl of potato chips.
