Bombay Sapphire is really fucking great in gimlets and martinis. It has a great balance between floral, citrus and pepper.
Personally I don't like gin much and I hate shit like the Last Word and it's current cult, but I do like Negronis and I respect that gin exists.
Uncle Val's is the shit in a Clover Club, too.
I find Bombay 2 be 2 forward in the botanicals. Junipero out of San Francisco has the perfect complexity and balance without too much of the seasonings. -

1) I store my Dolin brand dry vermouth in the fridge and try to use it up in about 2 weeks. If this is improper, fuck off.Dennis_DeYoung said:

Let's do the three question (generally non-googleable) czechlist:
1. How do you store your Vermouth?
2. What drink is a Martini descendent from?
3. What kind of orange bitters do you like?
I AM THE TOTAL COCKTAIL EXPERT!!! ROAR!!!
2) I don't know w/o the Googles, but once I was sitting in a hotel bar in the early 90's (still in HS) on Lake Como and I order a martini and it was vermouth on the rocks? What were those waps thinking?
3) The cheap ones from Trinidad, you hipster fag. Have a native Trinidadian gift you 2 ginormous bottles of Angostura and then popoff. -
Junipero

My go-to gin is either gin or the ginormous bottle of New Amsterdam they sell at Costco.
When I'm feeling fancy, I drink Hendrick's. -

Bombay Saphirestoring vermouth is a fools errand.

Bombay Saphire

Bombay Saphire1. Vermouth should be gassed with Private Preserve (argon, I believe). Otherwise, it's wine, you know. So, however long you savages would drink wine for that's been refrigerated. Refrigerating vermouth is for retards. Dolin is the shit, though! I love it.
2. Martinez!
3. Gaz Regan's is probably the best, but I like the Ango ones too. But, in a martini - gotta be Gaz's.
Manhattans and Martinis are the same drink, essentially, both descendent from the Martinez, just in different directions.
Manhattan is 2:1 Rye/Sweet Vermouth, barspoon of curaçao if you're not a savage, then ango bitters.
Martini is 2:1 Gin/Dry Vermouth, barspoon of Maraschino if you're feeling nostalgic, but it makes it weird... then orange bitters. -
