Directions
- In a small bowl, combine the vodka, dry vermouth, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to make the marinade.

- In the same skillet, add the reserved marinade and bring it to a boil. Boil for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has reduced slightly.
