Dry Martini (gin, not vodka) -
Sir Roger says:
The sad fact is that I know exactly how to make a dry martini but I can’t drink them because, two years ago, I discovered I was diabetic. I prefer one with gin, but James Bond liked a vodka martini, “shaken not stirred” – which I never said, by the way. That was Sean Connery, remember him?
The worst martini I’ve ever had was in a club in New Zealand, where the barman poured juice from a bottle of olives into the vodka. That’s called a dirty martini and it is a dirty, filthy, rotten martini, and should not be drunk by anybody except condemned prisoners.
My dry martinis taste amazing and the day they tell me I’ve got 24 hours to live I am going to have six. Here’s how I make them:
1. For a gin martini, use Tanqueray – it’s a soft gin and the best. Put an eggcup measure of Noilly Prat dry vermouth into a V-shaped martini glass and swirl it around to flavour the glass. Then tip the Noilly Prat into the cocktail shaker, swirl it around and throw away what’s left.
2. Put a couple of ice cubes into the shaker and add your measure of gin. Ideally, there should be a quarter of an inch of space between the top of the liquid and the top of the glass. If it is up to the rim, it could spill.
3. Give the cocktail mixer a little shake – don’t exhaust yourself – and then put it in the freezer.
4. Cut a slice of lemon and wipe the rim of the glass with the yellow zest (not the white pith), and put the glass in the freezer.
5. Half an hour later you are ready to pour. A proper cocktail shaker has a strainer so the ice cubes remain in it. Funnily enough, the silver shaker we use at our home in Monaco has 007 on it.
6. Serve with three little olives on a toothpick dunked in the drink. That way, if I happen to be with you, I can eat one of the olives and enjoy just the suspicion of a dry martini.

I'd love to join you, Sir Roger Moore! Cheers!
I start with a little bit of this. Evan Williams Cherry Reserve. Best tasting cherry flavored drink I've come across.
A little bit of Jose Cuervo Gold.
Mix together and top it off with cranberry juice and you got yourself a sweet little cocktail fit for all seasons.
@Murdock sounds grand!
And to top it off, @CatchingBullets posted this challange upon his FB:

I once had a Martini...because, you know, Bond and all. I'm man enough to admit....I hated it.
Good news, A wine that doesn't give you a hangover. ;)
Good stuff. I tried my first one for the same reason- and while I didn't hate it, the gin version is definitely better. And as gool ol Rog said above, the 'dirty' ones are gross.
Wine duty the same.
not much of an ale drinker but i have become quite fond of this.
See Glenfiddich, Glen Grant and the new Macallan bottlings for more of the same...
Might I recommend this
