what is the maximum number of martinit recipes that you've tried in a single sitting. i've already lost count. a good evening of forgetten aim conversations and phone calls has occurred.
 
vodka
vermouth (rinsing out the shaker with it is more than enough)
ice
shake

gin
vermouth (rinsing out the shaker with it is more than enough)
ice
shake

Any other recipe is a metrotail...

I'm a fan of throwing a dash of cranberry in there and going for a Cosmo.

Use Grey Goose vodka, skip the vermouth and you have the perfect martini. Also, use lots of ice and shake vigorously until your hand is stuck to the side of the shaker. Pour into a cocktail glass and you are golden. 😀
 
bleh. martini's are way too strong for me. I can drink em if I'm drunk and my taste buds are already dead, but otherwise, the taste makes me wretch.

a "vodka martini" is not a martini.... weakling
 
come on now loki... use the power of the wolf or fox or other wild dog, and enjoy a strong feminie drink.... unless you are 007 and you like a "vodka martini:
 
Martini = Gin.
Martini =! Vodka

However, I like mine with Stoly or Chopin vodka. Chopin is preferable, as its a smoother distillation of vodka, as potato vodkas usually are (Glacier being another example).
 
I much prefer Vodka over Gin.

Russian Vodka (Stolichnaya or Moskovskaya).

Wave a Vermouth bottle over the glass.

Give the olive to someone who cares.

Neat.

Best was in the Four Seasons bar in NYC.

Add more than vermouth and you're not drinking a martini.

Shockwave - never developed a taste for Gin. It is too good at cleaning my paint brushes to waste drinking.

See my posts above. I agree, I myself prefer a vodka martini, but by the heart of the matter, martinis themselves arent made from vodka. Moot point really, just felt like being nit picky.
 
Oh man, I put down 4 or 5 at martini bars pretty regularly... San Francisco treats are yummy. 😉
 
In all of the drinking I've done, never in my life have I had a martini. My bro and his wife are gin drinkers but I think it's nasty as hell and never acquired a taste for it. Vodka I'll drink but for cocktails I prefer a tequila gimlet.

If you like Chopin, you'd dig Grey Goose the most. It's the best vodka I've ever had. I treat myself to it every now and then and it's the only thing I drink when I order a martini at a bar.

I don't do gin but at least I don't hold it against people who do. 😀

😕

Have you ever had Chopin? Grey Goose is a grain alcohol, Chopin a potato. They taste nothing alike.... For grains, I myself like Stoly. 🙂

If you HAVENT tried a potato vodka, I highly recommend you give them a try.
