That much vermouth, even fresh, means you no longer taste the botanicals of the gin, which is the entire point of stirring it instead of shaking, not to destroy the delicate flavors.YellowSnow said:
This is mostly correct. If the vermouth is fresh then it needs to be up with a 2 to 1 or 3 to 1 ratio. Dirty martinis are never permissible.UW_Doog_Bot said:
Gin martini stirred, straight up unless the vermouth is fresh then it can be dry. Two olives, optionally served dirty if the gin is cheap. Onions acceptable if your Polish.YellowSnow said:

Vodka isn't a drink though. It's just the fuel for many a good drink. Do you order a bloody Mary/Caeser or a god damned bloody Maria? Gross.
Anything else is twash.
Also, onions are just as good as olives. Sometimes I like one of each.
Maybe in the same category as dirty, acceptable for cheap gin, definitely NOT acceptable for top shelf stuff, otherwise you might as well order cheaper gin. -
Strong disagree. Fresh, top shelf vermouth is amazing and doesn't take away from the gin at all at 3 to 1.UW_Doog_Bot said:

Vodka's only purpose is Bloody Mary's (or Caesars hi @Canadawg ) or White Russians. Screwdrivers are fine is you're really hungover.
Otherwise, you're an alcoholic housewife.

I can’t stand the taste of gin. I grew up in a house with a bunch of juniper bushes that my brothers and I constantly had to fetch our baseballs out of, so I hate the smell and taste.RaceBannon said:
