    Default Martinis

    I had a couple last night made with Ultimat vodka. Tiny splash of vermouth and then shaken til they were super cold.

    I will also admit to having a couple of Vespers recently. 3 Measures Gordons gin, 1 measure vodka, half a measure of Lillet with a thin slice of lemon peel. Very good even if you run the risk of looking like a Bond fan-boy. Ian Fleming knew his way around a bar, that's a fact.

    Anybody else like martinis?

    Yes, as long as it is a martini.

    Someone needs to slap these people that think anything with cranberry juice is somehow a martini.

    and let's not forget that the presence of tiny umbrellas automatically disqualifies the drink as a martini!

    That's not a Martini...That's a health hazard to a serious drinker.

    Cheers, fellow Martini lovers.
    I'm preferring Gin to Vodka lately but the Vesper works for me.
    Anyone tried Cointreau rather than Lillet ?

    I'm the old fashioned fart that says it has to have gin to be a martini, but that's neither here nor there

    I started with Vodka martinis, but I do like them with gin as well. Slightly dirty.
