So tell me, how do you make your martinis?
Joshua, depends on if you like vodka or gin. I only use Bombay Sapphire Gin and Grey Goose Vodka. The best martini depends on the mood. First of all, I keep both the vodka and the gin in the freezer. That way, nothing gets diluted during the mixing with melted ice.
GIN (mostly my favorite lately)- take a chilled martini glass, add chilled gin, then gently pour in about one ounce of vermouth. Stir GENTLY so as to layer the vermouth throughout the drink. A couple of nice olives stuffed with Bleu Cheese and you have it...
Vodka - Take a chilled martini glass, add chilled vodka and then spray on the vermouth. I like them dry...add a couple of Bleu Cheese stuffed olives and you have it...
I don't like a shaken martini, I like the vermouth layered in the drink...shaken changes the molecular structure and the taste IMHO..
