Kangaroo Cocktail

It's a vodka martini. That's all. Just a vodka martini. 

Why is it called a Kangaroo Cocktail? Well, if the folks at Serious Eats (thanks, Grey!) don't know, no one knows.

The recipe in the Guide is as straightforward as it gets.

Ingredients:

2 parts Vodka

1 part Dry Vermouth

Directions:

Stir with ice, strain into a chilled cocktail glass, and garnish with a lemon twist.

The lemon twist gives the drink a limoncello nose, but then it's vodka and vermouth all the way. And I'm not opposed to that! It's a different flavor profile than we're used to around here, and sometimes it's nice to stir things up.

Speaking of chilly things...  We finally got our first freeze a few days ago. Nothing compared to the icy temps everywhere else (it's crazy in Idaho!), but still - our first freeze!
