dirty martini with tanqueray...

martini with tanqueray would taste fantastic right about now, but you can hold off on that digusting, vile olive juice. i guess ill just have to settle for a nice bourbon on the rocks tonight. mmmm....bourbon....

[DarkHippie]

matinis taste like distilled prison rape

[sailor]

i make myself vodka martinis and manhattans all the time, replete with olives and cherries, respectively. but i'm just a classy motherfucker.

Winston Churchill, bolstered by gin martinis, outlasted the Luftwaffe. (http://www.moderndrunkardmagazine.com/issues/07_03/07-03-faded-glory.htm)

How dare you! The Double Down is not to be disparaged. The Vegas one at least, never been to the NYC one.

the NYC one is a great bar. i like it. the bartenders do buy backs and are cool as hell but give me a pint of ass juice in an ice cold glass anyday. they can keep that bacon tini.

Martinis have not gone away.
I, for one, favor a vodka martini made with the Gray Goose.
I do not make mine like the author of the article.

I generally do not like drinks with fruit juice or lots of ingredients.
I likes a good scotch over a few large ice cubes.
I likes me the cognac and Armagnac, straight up.

I've been on a vodka martini jag for the last 4 or 5 years.

And two olives, please.
Either one at the beginning and the other as I finish the drink, or for giving to a woman.
Three olives is a side dish.

You two need to man up.

Actually, it's bad and may give you the shits if you drink a lot of it.

[Midkiff]

I fucking LOVE a good gin martini with just an eyedropper of vermouth and a couple of giant olives. Fucking golden.

[PapaBear]

The Martini died when the word "appletini" was coined.

Make mine an "In and Out Martini".

And Yet, Midkiff, There Are Still Some People Who Do Not Realize What A Cultured Man You Are!! Fools!

There Was An Episode Of MASH Where They Debated How Much Vermouth You Put In To Make The Perfect Dry Martini. F_S Doesn't Have The Name Right, But The Winning Formula Was Something Like This:

The Perfect Dry Martini Is A Glass Full Of Only Gin, Which You Drink While Looking At A Picture Of Aldo Rossi, The Inventor Of Vermouth.

Now, That's A Dry Martini!

[Dan 'Hampton]

Make mine with Bombay Saphire with jalepeno stuffed olives, dirty please.

[Ritalin]

Martinis are like breasts: one's not enough and three's too many.

He's probably been out of the institution for some time now.

Compared to Tanqueray 10, anything else is rotgut, although I admit it's somewhat of a sin to make a martini with 10 since it's got some wonderfully subtle flavors and aromas. (Mmmmm....piney....)

Although I might try a bacon martini, when I want a drink, nothing beats icy gin in a classic glass. With olives; a twist is for pussies and putting anything else into the bottom makes it a different drink.

And make mine shaken, not stirred. Stirred martinis are for people who actually like vermouth.

If we go someplace and they don't know how to make a martini, I am usually devastated.


And sober.

Miss Martinis Navratilova, she was the best

I'll drink a martini sometimes. I prefer Vodka to Gin.

[FUNKMAN]

I miss Dean Martini and Jerry Lewis too

you don't hear about Highballs anymore...

[Friday]

I named my kitten Dino Martini, because I miss them so much.

My friend took his litter-mate and named him Frank Sinatra.
We are starting "The Cat Pack"

[Devo37]

i think the not-for-anything-else martini glass is a big problem.

the name-a-fruit-tini has also turned it from respectable into a bachelorette party drunkette drink.

[FUNKMAN]

I named my kitten Dino Martini

very hot!

What about the chocolate martini? Yeecchh!

I prefer a vodka martini with Russian Standard (when I can find it), bone-dry with a couple of olives.

[Thebazile78]

and then throw a glass of white wine at me.

I fucking hate Chardonnay.

You know this, yet you brought it anyway, so you deserved the toss.


Now bring me my Tanqueray!

[JackStraw]

Sapphire, dry as hell, with a twist.

[ralphbxny]

I am not a fan of the Martini!! I am not from the Classy side of the Bronx like Sailor!

[buzzard]

Didn't Steve go on a diet?...that's terrible,I'm sorry.

just stolen and turned into a myspace headline! thanks F_S!

[Don Stugots]

i drank martinis all weekend. its sad to say but it was the best way for me to deal. they were great.

[envirogator]

Sapphire up with two olives or Knob Creek Manhattan up with a couple of cherries. I'm about an hour and half from one or other
