    Ha ha! Alright. Cheers old man. Stoli...maybe I'll grab myself a bottle at the store next time and mix it up.

    I like martinis to be "dirty" and have a distinct citrus tang, hence...

    2 measures Idol vodka
    1 measure Williams Chase gin
    1/2 measure Dolin vermouth
    5 ice cubes

    Shake ingredients and strain into glass garnished with a twist of lemon.

    If you don't mind my asking, in what part of the world do you live? Here in Texas I have never seen the brands you mention.

    I'm enjoying one now...gin-vermouth martini, shaken not stirred. I don't get the satisfaction of the vodka martini that I do with gin. In one sense, I understand--vodka has balls...I like vodka...it packs a punch and goes down smooth. But I love the flavor of gin and find the combination--alchemy--of the gin and vermouth magical, a made-for-each-other marriage. Then again, Bond said he has a bachelor's taste for freedom.

    My huge bottle of Beefeater London Dry Gin is almost empty, and while I've long favored Beefeater, I'll probably read up on whether there might be a better gin out there, though it's partly subjective--any recommendations? And I highly recommend Gera Premium Vodka...don't know if anyone else here has it.

    Okay, I need a refill.

    Bell Ringer and Magellan are both excellent.

    Martini tastes awful. A drink for old women.

    Lately I’ve started to favor my martinis with gin instead of vodka.
    A splash of good vermouth shaken over ice and some bitters to finish it off! Cheers!

    I like mine Noel Coward style: fill a glass with gin and wave it in the general direction of Italy.

    Everyone on this forum should try one at least once, just for the Bond experience

    Prefer gin martini to vodka martini - I once went to a hotel bar where I had to explain what a martini is!
