Sounds like someone has a very sophisticated date.... woo-hooo

I know nothing about Martinis other than 007 likes them. Sorry. Got a beer question? I'm your man there.

reply

Haha nah I'm all good on the beer front, know that backwards and forwards.

Remember - British people put one olive in them, but Americans use two olives. I have no idea how many olives they use Down Under.

reply

They use one, but upside down.

The ratio is 3 parts gin/1 part vermouth. Sorry I donā€™t like gin and drink vodka martinis, so I canā€™t help u there.

I've got stoli and Bombay and noli Pratt. So I'm good to go.

reply

So let us know how they turned out.

I've heard a couple people order a "dirty" martini. I looked it up and it is adding a little olive juice in addition to the olives. I also heard someone order a "perfect" martini. That's using both sweet and dry vermouth, in equal parts.

On MASH I heard Alan Alda request a "painfully dry" martini. This means as little vermouth as humanly possible.

reply

Add some bitters!

& Rossi on the rocks...say yes

Does Martini not exist where you are in the world?
I'm not one for cocktails, but i used to work in a bar where we sold Martini. It must be a brand name then I think šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø.
It was nice with ice and lemonade/sprite/mountain dew.

I'm intrigued about trying a freshly mixed combo šŸ¤”

How did they turn out?

reply

Eh, probably too late now, but I like Bombay Saphire for mixed drinks.
