Drinking a martini tonight and wondering if there were any other martini lovers on the forum.

If so, perhaps you'd like to share a favorite recipe.

Starwalker · 31 October 2011, 12:24 PM

Don't know recipe's but one of my all time favorite before dinner or pre-party drink to kik off the night would be a super refreshing espresso martini.

mikea · 31 October 2011, 01:33 PM

I'm a dirty martini lover! My personal preference is kettle one, a bit of olive juice and a few garlic stuffed olives.

Cato · 31 October 2011, 02:40 PM

I'm very fond of Cosomopolitans.

540im · 31 October 2011, 02:56 PM

Extra Dirty martini with two olives here. Just love the taste.

TSW · 31 October 2011, 03:38 PM

Extra Dry Martini made on Tanqueray Ten with two olives and a twist.

Andad · 31 October 2011, 04:18 PM

Fill a martini glass with Extra Dry Martini - pour it down the sink - fill the glass with Tanqueray and throw in three olives - perfect balance.

Same recipe here except I only throw out 2 drops of EDM and use Vodka instead og Gin.

Grumpy Badger · 31 October 2011, 06:44 PM

Swirl of Martini Extra Dry, bucket load of Hendricks. No olives... I can't stand them!
I sometimes use Smirnoff Blue if I'm wearing my Bond NATO!

"Hey, who's leg do you have to hump round here to get a dry martini?!"

Demosthene · 31 October 2011, 09:41 PM

Bombay Sapphire, Noilly Prat, not shaken.

That's just gin,Ceci.

Tri-Tip · 1 November 2011, 12:06 AM

I like a Vodka Martini, 2 onions. I know that's technically a gimlet, but that sounds now where near as cool as a Martini.

Dr. Robert · 1 November 2011, 02:56 AM

a martini is made with gin......I prefer Bombay....instead of using vermouth....I wave the cocktail shaker in the direction of France or Italy.....pour into martini glass, add a couple of olives......nectar of the gods.

316lad · 1 November 2011, 03:07 AM

Martini Extra Dry.

Fill a glass with gin with a bit of vodka and to add the martini just raise it in the general direction of Italy - drink.

Cheers.

TSW · 1 November 2011, 05:42 AM

One of my favorite drink

Timber Loftis · 5 November 2011, 12:07 PM

I'm a big fan of a bombay sapphire extra dry, shaken, with 2 olives.

Lo mismo aqui.... Bombay all the way

Hkspwrsche · 7 November 2011, 07:34 AM

Bought some Bombay this weekend

BNA/LION · 7 November 2011, 07:53 AM

I like my Martini Shaken not Stirred! Chopin Vodka is an Excellent choice too…

Chopin$29.99 for 750 milliliters; 80 proof
Polish; distilled from potatoes

Potato vodkas have never been as well-received as their grain-based competitors, but Chopin—which appeared on the American market in 1997—should go a long way toward changing their lowbrow reputation. It's the smoothest vodka we tried, with a slight oiliness (specific to potato vodkas) that cut beautifully against the briny funk of black caviar and held its own against the thickest black bread I'd been able to find. We found Chopin itself to be "slightly sweet" and "well-rounded" with "perhaps a hint of apple." Chopin also had a "medium-length, pleasing burn," but "very little aftertaste—it's remarkably clean." To top it off, Chopin's tall frosted bottle was the prettiest we'd seen.

Final Verdict: Following a second round of shots, the panel unanimously called Chopin "far and away the best vodka we tried."
Grade: Five Shot Glasses

Gaad, that's a good gin with tonic (icenolemon)

Jack's Uncle · 7 November 2011, 08:28 AM

Grey Goose, dirty martini, up with three olives. Had a couple of those last night.

BondandBigM · 7 November 2011, 08:34 AM

Had a couple of Vodka Martini's earlier on this evening

This recipe, plus 2 olives of course. Or sometimes a couple cocktail onions. Technically a 'Gibson'

warren G. · 7 November 2011, 09:24 PM

I'm a huge fan of gin. I think all my favorite cocktails are gin based... Aviation, Pegu Club, Last Word, Corpse Reviver 2, and etc! If you guys can get it.. I recommend Junipero by Anchor. I was surprised to find this beer brewing company to make some really goooooooood gin. But normally I'm a Plymouth, Martin Miller and Bombay guy.

Langleyz · 10 November 2011, 06:28 PM

Gibson. iPhone pic.

2th Dr · 11 November 2011, 02:58 AM

A.J.R. · 11 November 2011, 03:15 AM
