A vodka martini, also known as a vodkatini or kangaroo cocktail, is a cocktail made with vodka and vermouth. The ingredients are chilled, either by stirring or shaking, then strained and served "straight-up" in a chilled cocktail glass. The fictional British Secret Service agent James Bond is famously known for ordering a "vodka martini, shaken, not stirred."
