Martinis: Gin or soul destroying heresy!

[JVS]

There is only one martini base and it is gin!

[geardaddy]

1. Yes!

Gin gin gin!

[ZombieNixon]

2. Now, this is actually a valid question.

:D

I don't see how you can make a martini with vodka. :puke: Then again, ever since last March, I've been prejudiced against vodka in general. :puke: :hangover:

[geardaddy]

3. Me too.

Ever since I was in high school.

[ZombieNixon]

4. Blech.

Rotten potato water. x( :P

[Xithras]

7. Now now, good Vodka has its place.

Making a screwdriver with gin, for example, would be horrendous. Cosmo's, Black Russians, Harvey Wallbangers, and Fuzzy Navels are also better with vodka IMO. Each drink has it's purpose, which is why my liquor "cabinet" actually fills three :)

Suddenly, I need a drink :beer:

[bicentennial_baby]

8. I make my Fuzzy Navels wit Peachtree

:D

[Xithras]

9. So do I

1oz. Grey Goose
1oz. Peachtree
4oz. OJ

Nummy!

[cemaphonic]

10. agreed

Also, vodka made from potatoes is actually pretty rare and tends to be on the expensive side. Mostly, it's rye

[sniffa]

5. it tastes Like a cigarette

that's stiLL Lit. :puke:

[Xithras]

6. I'm a fan of the Churchill Martini.

Put 2.5 ounces of gin in the glass, and glance momentarily at the bottle of vermouth. Done.

[NMDemDist2]

11. try this for your next martini

take your shaker can and swirl just a few drops of good Scotch in it, then dump the scotch and add your ice, gin and drop of vermouth

it gives the gin a smoky flavor that's wonderful

12. Clearly your momma taught you right from wrong

and you stand still on the side of justice and righteousness! Here's to ya! :toast:

[JVS]

14. thanks

[Heidi]

13. I can't drink martinis.

They taste like lighter fluid smells. :shrug:

[Burma Jones]

15. We live in the age of Chocolate Martinis

The Gods spit on us.........


If you want iced vodka straight up, then get iced vodka straight up, like a good Russian would.....

[Paladin]

16. Absolutely

Bombay Sapphire is my current preference. Vodka just doesn't cut it.....

[GoneOffShore]

17. If you like Bombay, try Bluecoat Gin

Made here in Philadelphia. Pot still gin, as opposed to continuous. Very herbal.
