They seem so good in the movies, but actually taste mostly just like straight vodka, which most people aren’t going to enjoy.

    Yeah they’re vodka martinis. They ARE terrible lol. Gin is much better, more interesting with the botanicals. I usually do Beefeater gin if they have it

        Satan’s Maggoty Cum Fart has this right. A gin martini, specifically Hendricks has it right. Dirty is ideal.

        I just picked up Drumshanbo with California Oranges and it is positively delicious, very strong nose without a strong taste, great for sipping or mixing.

        Tanq 10 is on my list but every place I’ve visited didn’t have it

      I do like a gin martini, but as a tequila drinker, nothing beats a dirty Tequila Martini.

      Bonds Wodka Martini does have 3/4 of gin and only 1/4 of wodka:

      The International Bartenders Association (IBA) recipe calls for 45 ml gin, 15 ml vodka, and 7.5 ml Lillet Blanc in place of Kina Lillet
