Yeah it’s kind of like the fajita conversation some dumbass was trying to push in that other thread.  Oh no oh no oh no...fajita is a particular preparation for beef and there’s no such thing as chicken or shrimp or pork or whatever fajitas.  Yet EVERY TEXMEX RESTAURANT IN THE WORLD has variations of “fajitas” that aren’t beef.  But, sure, there’s no such thing.

I’ll take my grey goose martini, glass cooled w Ice and half a cap of vermouth, 3 x 1.5 shots of goose, 1/2 cap of vermouth, and a pinch of salt. Shaken to beyond cold. Drop in twist or blue cheese stuffed olives

2X Not quite enough
3x way too many

I’ll Never drink a gin martini, I like life too much and hate pine trees equally

Cheers

So the heady bouquet of botanicals and juniper is manly ?  The Brits had it right prostitutes  drink gin.

 I like gin (Hendricks especially), but it is in no way more manly than vodka, and I'm wondering why anyone here is saying it is. Try that line in Moscow.......

Why not a vodka martini? Why not a vodka manhattan or a vodka Sazerac?

 

The bartender will “know what you mean” in the same way that I know what is meant by the expression “Texas Aggie”.

 

Drink what you like. Everybody should. Call it what you want.

Life is short; drink what you like.

Apparently, I like a something close to a Vesper.

-Pre-chill a martini glass with ice water
-Fill shaker with ice
-Add 3 parts gin
-Add 1 part vodka
-Shake until cold and cloudy
-Strain and serve with a twist of lemon

I've been drinking those for over 20 years.  When done right... oh, yeah.

Bozo beat me to it re: drink what you like

Drink what you like, but don't call things that aren't the thing the thing. 

IMHO the quality of the vermouth makes the martini - unless you use a shitty gin or vodka then it’s a lost cause.

And Hendricks sucks. Cucumber? WTF

This thread is perfect in so many ways.

People can do as they please....give me gin though, I like to taste my alcohol.

Have not laughed that hard in a while. At least people are starting stand up for something important

that's impressive considering they stopped making it in the 80s.

Dammit. Shit. Well it just says Lillet on it. Probably the Blanc.

The words "Vodka" and "Martini" do not belong in the same paragraph.

I wholeheartedly disagree.  I love a very slightly dirty vodka martini.  And that’s all I have to say about that.

Wait...I thought there was no such thing as a “vodka martini”

I had a rum margarita on a cruise once. Bitch tried to call it a daiquri but fuck her.

I thought Waterloo gin was absolute garbage, but to each their own.

I hear ya.  I didn't find it that remarkable myself.  The botanicals are too subtle for me.    It's bland, almost like a vodka (rimshot).  But I do support my local craftsmen in everything from art, music, literature, to spirits.   My dad was blown away by it, and it happens to be his favorite gin, but he only takes his gin with tonic and lime.   The common knock on Texas gins has always been that they were too sweet. 

I picked up a bottle of Hat Trick today, makers of Revival, the red corn bourbon out of Charleston.  It's not bad, but nothing exceptional.  I also picked up a bottle of Koval gin.   It's better than the Hat Trick.  I didn't realize they made a gin.  I tried their 4 grain bourbon and was very impressed, but as I recall you unrefined heathens panned me for it.   

One thing I noticed in the gin section today is there were at least two gins that were amber-colored.  They are apparently starting to age gin in oak barrels, so this could get interesting.  Not sure it would make a good gin and tonic, but it could add some nuance to a martini.

Cocchi Americano is generally thought to be the closest thing to Kina Lillet currently available. 

Got'em! (I did have a "mezcal manhattan" once that was tits)

I just made a Vieux Carré, except instead of rye, cognac, vermouth, Benedictine and bitters, I used Pepsi, Pepsi Max, vodka, chocolate milk and saline solution.

A fresh twist on a classic cocktail!

Has anyone ever tried a cosmo using gin?  I think I'm going to give it a go tonight just to fuck with the vodka drinkers.  If I can pull this off then the only thing vodka will be good for in my house is bloody marys.

you have to be secure in your manhood to drink a cosmo in public.  they're pretty damn pink.    i like prickly pear margaritas too, which can also be a little on the pinkish/purplish side.

Those are actually great!  Try it!
