Last time I drank gin martinis was at a beautiful home for a friend's bridal shower. We made pitchers (that should of been where I left) and I projectile vomited in the bathroom. omg I'm still haunted by that.
Stirred, vodka or gin as long as it’s dirty. Have no use for green olives except for in a martini. In Chicago there was this exceptional martini bar called the Blue Stem. It was a dive but the proprietor and bartender Lefko was an intriguing broad, who would sometimes drink with you and made the most sublime martini’s I’ve ever had the pleasure of drinking. No need to order, you just trusted her tio do her magic. And then I found it had closed, taking a little bit of my love for Chicago with it.
@Rosie and @Normal Nose vomits are the worst. No matter how thoroughly you clean, that smell stays with you 🤢 I’ve only experienced it once, but once was more than enough.
Cadmium77 - I like your style Martinis are only martinis if made with vodka or gin and dry vermouth - that's it! If you add anything else it's a Cocktail NOT a martini. Bombay gin, with a drop of vermouth, three large queen olives - stirred - you will bruise the gin if you shake it - I don't care what you do with vodka, that's gross
shaken, not stirred
ReplyDeleteI hate martinis, give me a nice tall vodka or gin and tonic. I don't like olives either
ReplyDeleteGin, and either blue cheese or jalapeño stuffed olives. Yum
ReplyDeleteVodka martini, straight up, with three olives.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely vodka!

ReplyDeleteThrough the nose too?
DeleteProbably
Delete@rosie. I did that with everclear! 🤣

ReplyDeleteMuch better to spike your slurpee during the summer

ReplyDeleteNo on the martinis, but I’ll take a beer.
ReplyDeleteVodka martini, dry, skip the olives
ReplyDeleteGin, very dry, with a blue cheese stuffed olive.
ReplyDeleteNever had one.
ReplyDeleteGenerally not into gin or vodka.
ReplyDeleteChocolate martinis, cosmos, or anything fruity. Dirty martinis are good, but they have to be with really top shelf spirits.
ReplyDelete1. must be gin, preferably Bombay Dry Gin.
ReplyDelete2. Olives must be cerignola unpitted, wiped dry of pickling brine.
According to Luis Bunuel the glasses must be from the deep freeze, the gin merely swirled in the frozen glass then put back into deep freeze.
Then the apertif and olive are added just before drinking.
I used to be into them but I don't drink anymore.
Personally I preferred gin and tonic.
The deadly Bombay sapphire! There is no substitute. Show up at my house with Gordon’s or beefeaters and you’ll be banished to West VA
DeleteNot an olive fan, give me a G&T every time.
ReplyDeleteHell, I’ll skip the martini and just have some olive juice!

ReplyDeleteSuper dirty vodka martinis are divine (and I'll take whatever olives you want to add!)
ReplyDeleteCadmium77 - I like your style

I LOVE olives! Wouldn't drink a martini if you paid me, though.
ReplyDeleteMartini: fancy word for one step up from drinking it out of a paper bag.
ReplyDeleteWHAT KIND OF MONSTER DOES NOT LIKE OLIVES?
ReplyDeleteGrey Goose, very dirty. Love olives.
ReplyDeleteCan do it with lemon, too, instead of olives.
Dirty gin martini, with tons of olives!
