There is no official best vodka for a dirty martini. US vodka is bottled at least 40%. Tito’s official: corn, 40% / 80 proof, 98 calories per 1.5 oz. Olive brine is 0%. Current iba-world.com Dirty Martini card unused. “Best vodka” is the class on the neck, not a 2026 crown. A 1.5-ounce 40% pour is one drink.
Related: screwdriver vodka, Tito’s mixers, vodka from potatoes.
