Posted: 7/31/2005 2:37:35 PM | I love a good Martini but I don't like to take up room in my up glass with things like olives and onions, etc. And please don't get the vermouth bottle even near it. Stirred in a shaker so you don't bruise the vodka and the glass has to be chilled too.
Let's share some Martini Recipes here........ | |

Posted: 8/1/2005 6:56:46 AM | well, I am somewhat of a purist... a martini is GIN (not vodka) and white vermouth along with a twist of lemon rind or a couple or three olives. plese do not add an onion as this drink now becomes a Gibson. But my recipie is:
3 oz. Bombay Saphire gin
3 huge green olives
1 Tablespoon Martini & Rossi white vermouth
put the vermouth in the glass and swirl it around to coat the inside of the glass, then pour out any excess. put the gin in a shaker with PLENTY of ice and shake like he11 for about 45 seconds. strain gin into glass and garnish with olives.
the martini is not a drink to linger over; it should be enjoyed while it is icy cold, never allowed to get warm..
and, to quote Dorothy Parker:
I love a good martini
two at the very most
three and I'm under the table
four and I'm under the host. | |

Cajun Martini
Pour a fifth of your favorite gin into a large jug, jar, or bottle. Add two or three fresh jalapeno peppers (sliced, seeded and deveined), and a single red chili pepper (ONE is more than enough!). Let sit in the refrigerator for two days. Shake with ice and vermouth in a 5 to 1 ratio. Serve straight up or on the rocks.

1/4 oz. dry vermouth

McQuillan walked into a bar and ordered martini after martini, each time removing the olives and placing them in a jar. When the jar was filled with olives and all the drinks consumed, the Irishman started to leave. "S'cuse me," said the bartender, who was puzzled over what McQuillan had done. "What was that all about?" "Nothing," said the Irishman, "my wife just sent me out for a jar of olives."

Posted: 8/4/2005 7:57:12 PM | 2 classics for the so called "purists" from a certified "alcohol snob"
The original martini...These are THE ingredients alled for in the ORIGINAL MARTINI RECIPE
2oz Plymouth gin - if you can't get it, Tanqueray No. 10 is nice
a SPLASH of Noilly Pratt Original Dry Vermouth
Garnish - twist of lemon
If its not that, I don't want to drink it.
The 007
2oz vodka (remember the booze makes the drink. Don't cheap out, but don't get the gimmiky crap either...make mine a Thor's Hammer or 3 Olives)
a SPLASH of vermouth (again..Noilly Pratt should be the choice)
Garnish - twist of lemon
If its good enough for Bond, its ok by me
for both drinks:
Shake in a METAL shaker (metal chills faster than glass without melting ice) with ice and a slab of lemon rind...the hydrogen ions from the citric acid react with the hydroxyl ions in the booze and mute the "rubbing alcohol" flavour associated with clear liquors. Shake until condesation and/or frost start to form on the outside of the shaker. Pour. The result will be a****ail of exceptional chill and smoothness. Remember, James Bond had impeccale taste in everything. "Shaken, not stirred." is the mantra of someone who knows how to make a beverage. | |

Posted: 8/5/2005 2:38:43 AM | For me...a "Dirty Martini" is the only way to go! (Sorry, CurtStl...I LOVE the olives!)
To make two perfect Dirty Martinis...SHAKEN not stirred, over ice and strained, straight up!
2 Jiggers Tanqueray GIN
1 Jigger Martini & Rossi Extra Dry Vermouth
1 Jigger Olive Juice (strain the gunk!) 
Chill Martini glasses in ice water...swirl vermouth in chilled glasses...and ENJOY!  | |

Posted: 10/25/2005 10:34:27 PM | The best Martini ever-
One chilled martini glass
Fill with excellent vodka (or gin) stored in the freezer. Don't add ice, shake or stir.
Pull out a bottle of vermouth and threaten your martini with it
Place unopened vermouth back in cabinet.
Don't add olives (or onions)- it ruins the olives and pisses off the vodka!
Enjoy your martini!
Seriously, though, I agree whoever said it above- buy great vodka or gin, but for a simple martini as in above stay away from the booze d'jour featured in GQ or whatever. Stay with the tried and true stuff.
