ORIGINAL: choccywoc Hell of an introduction. At least I didn't pull that "vodka martini shaken not stirred" routine. Who the hell drinks a vodka martini anyway. Vodka should be served cold, straight up with pepper. A right proper martini is made with Bombay gin, not vodka. ::: SIGH ::: Dear Mr. Dick-of-Steel; A vodka martini IS made with gin, you "fake," you. The vodka martini refers to a "twue" martini in which the original vermouth is replaced with vodka. Got it? Original martini recipe is mainly gin with DRY (not sweet - yuck!) vermouth. The less vermouth, the drier; a "dry" martini is 1:6 or less. Family joke: For a true "dry" martini, just whisper the word "vermouth" over the gin. (Not so much a joke after my Uncle started drinking "Gin rocks" and was found dead with a tumbler of gin next to his bed.) ANY "man of international intrigue" knows that definition of a martini. Oh, wait!........ your secret is a new recipe for a martini..... Well, you've given a hint. The base remains (Bombay) gin, so all we need to figure is your 2nd (and final) ingredient...... BRB.... this link: http://www.martinirecipe.net/ has more than I care to count. And I'm certainly NOT going to open "A Breakfast Martini." Other sites have martinis with rum as the main ingredient, for G*d's sake. BLEAH! I couldn't even open that link (google is your friend) much less post it here.... Are you keeping up? Regards, Mr. Lance-is-Hughes
