Making Martinis

Forums:

started liking Martinis around age 35, when 3.2 beer didn't quite cut it after a rugby game.

I'm decent at making them, Texas-style*:

 

6 cubes Ice  (I used to shake like James Bond but Laziness leads to on the rocks now)

1 capfull extra dry vermouth

about 3-4 oz vodka

about 2-3 teaspoons olive/pepperoncini 'juice"

two large olives, stuffed with a mix of either jalepeno, garlic or pimento

One large 'peperoncini' pepper

 

one is too many, because two is not enough

*(Honest, Martinis in Texas can be 5 ounces....Utah-style is silly, a Martini with 1 oz of vodka?)

 

Any nice Martini recipes to share?

Hendricks, very very dry - a small lemon twist

shaker kept in the freezer

Edwin lived till over101 - miss that man, the Martini master among so many other fine attributes

  And it kind cracks me up that he was enriching weapons grade plutonium in the mid 1940s ( manhatten project, not manhatten  beverage )

Iran is like 70 years behind...

U-235  not plutonium 

Did you ever drink at Zam Zam on Haight when Bruno was the bartender. My wife ordered a beer and the whole bar went quite. Bruno served her a beer. Just don't sit at the tables and don't order vodka.
