Loooove vodka martini's - preferably Grey Goose, definitely shaken, one olive.

Love Grey Goose Mandarin kept in the freezer, drink it like limocello.

Still prefer Bombay Sapphire for martinis, though, with the mandatory anchovy olives. I make a batch of the anchovy olive recipe for my stepdaughter.

THE PERFECT MARTINI

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Beverages

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

1 bottle Sapphire Bombay Gin
1 small bottle Martini and Rossi Dry Vermouth
olives of your choice
ice cubes

Fill your cocktail shaker half full with ice. Spear at least 2 olives with a toothpick; set aside. Using your martini glass as a measuring cup, fill it almost full with gin. Fill the vermouth cap just until the bottom of the cap is covered with vermouth (about 1/4 teaspoon). Pour it into the cocktail shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds. Pour the martini into your glass and serve immediately with olives added. Makes 1 very dry martini.

Could you post the recipe for it please?

 

[susie-in-co]

MMMM...I second Grey Goose (kept in the freezer), with three vermouth-soaked olives!!!

 

[maycee]

Bombay Sapphire Gin very dry with 1 onion and 1 olive. Agreed...shaken not stirred!

 

[maycee]

One more thing...gin should be at room temp...

the gin needs to melt the ice slightly when shaken to make a smooth martini.
