How do you like your martini?

Wildly off topic....maybe.

I've come to like a vodka martini over a gin martini. Tito's, but Goose is good too. I also insist upon large queen olives freshly stuffed with white bleu cheese (no mold please), three of them, and dirty. Shaken vigorously and served in a chilled classic martini glass.

If you substitute one of the olives with a fresh anchovy stuffed olive....well, thats just high living......


Beware; some restaurants try to pass off bleu cheese olives that have been stored in brine..(store bought)...they suck and will ruin an otherwise good martini.

I like mine made with Weller 107 proof KSBW, hold the vermouth and olives on the side.

I don't drink spirits.

That said, has there ever been anyone who 'stirred' a martini?

Yes, the child nephew in the movie "Auntie Mame" did it when his banker uncle came by unexpectedly one morning for for "inspection".

Auntie Mame was up in bed "hung"......

Left in the bottles.

I only drink beer and wine for the last 30 years. Anything stronger has too much potential for disaster.

The comeback of hard alcohols is not a good thing.
OK, OK, an after dinner cognac on occasion.

Not much for clear alcohol. Gin is the best of them for me. Tequila a no no, I wake up wondering why my head hurts so bad. The wife like her Vodka Martini three olives nice and cold. So it is shaken and strained into a cold glass.

Wine never either but Kentucky Tea or a good Lager I've been know to enjoy.

Glass Ice Vodka.

I don't think that is a martini.
