    In related news, anybody want to know how to make a kickass chocolate "martini"?

    if you ask for a martini world wide you will get gin and vermouth unless you "lecture" otherwise
    again if you want straight gin/vodka just asked for it,
    These days if you ask for a martini, they tend to default to vodka martini (unless at a martini bar). I seem to always have to specify gin.

    Current favorite martini gin is Plymouth.

    Tanqueray makes the best G&T.

    Sapphire is for people who would rather be drinking vodka.

    Tequila: Don Julio 1942 is *the* shit. Followed by Chinaco and Don Julio Anejo.

    PSA, if you run out of dry white vermouth, do NOT EVER put red vermouth in with your vodka... we need a puking smiley

    Well, I didn't Martini and Ross was subpar... tasted fine to me but I'm always in for a finer taste if its worth it...

    OK... how do we make kickass chocolate "martini"s... ahh... for our lady friends of course?

    If it has to be gin, Junipero (from the Anchor Steam folks). Hangar One vodka martini = much better.

    Hangar One gimlet = best.

    I'll jump in here.
    It's been a while, and I could use one.
    Stoli, dry, 2 olives!
    No longer stuck.

    Well, old boy, I believe you may have described a "Vesper Martini". I like it.

    James Bond came up with it off the cuff while wooing Vesper Lynd.

    James Bond: "I think I'll call it a Vesper."
    Vesper Lynd: "Because of the bitter aftertaste?"
    James Bond: "No, because once you've tasted it, that's all you want to drink."

    The French aperitif is Lillet White.

    My personal favorite is a Churchill Martini. I perused the debate here. Gin poured from bottle to glass is a Churchill to me; a cusory glance at the vermouth is enough to qualify the 'Martini' label.

    I add 1 or 3 olives, shaken dry. As long as the bottle says 'GIN' I don't care who made it.

    I started with G&T's many years ago, about the time I quit that horrendous pedestrian swill called beer.

    Cinzano is definately the best vermouth to drink straight.

    However, I ended up liking the Martini & Ross in the martini over the Noilly-Pratt or the Cinzano.

    Wow, an oldie but goodie.

    I'll weigh in and say, anyone who thinks straight gin in a martini glass = a martini, is in the same league as chicks who order apple-tinis and choco-tinis.

    (That would be the homo league).

    I'll buy that bit about Sapphire, because it's the only gin I really like. I'm more of a vodka man.
