For a sweeter martini, add a splash of simple syrup or cranberry syrup to the shaker. To make a non-alcoholic version, substitute the vodka with cranberry-flavored sparkling water or club soda. Experiment with different flavored vodkas, such as citrus or vanilla, to customize the martini to your taste. If you don't have dry vermouth on hand, a small squeeze of lime juice can add a similar tartness. For a festive presentation, rim the martini glasses with sugar before pouring the drink.
