Th original martini used far more vermouth than what you expect now. After I read an article in Serious Eats, I tried the old school style. 2 parts gin or vodka, one part good vermouth (Martini and Rossi, Noily Pratt, Cinzano) and a splash of orange bitters (Fee Brothers or Reagans). Shake the spirits and vermouth hard and strain into your glass. Then splash a dash of the bitters on top. You won't regret this. That's a martini. Lately, it's all about dry martini.

Terrierman Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Dry Chivas Rob Roy. 2 oz chivas, 1 oz dry Martini and Rossi, 2 anchovie stuffed olives. Shake the chivas and vermouth on ice, strain into a cold martini glass and add the two olives on a toothpick. They have to be anchovie stuffed for the recipe to work. Any other quality highland scotch will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ness Posted September 23, 2018 Author Share Posted September 23, 2018 So, I did a pick-a-six with all Oktoberfest/Marzen beers — one of my favorite styles. Gonna do a taste test and find a favorite. Late entrants: Entrants are (l. to r.) Free State (Lawrence, KS), Goose Island (Chicago), Schlafly (StL), Mother’s (Springfield), Bell’s (MI) and Sam Adams. Edit: Late entrants are Sierra Nevada, Spaten (Germany, back where it all began) and Boulevard (KC). Free State is rated very high, I think #2 for style, on Ratebeer.com. I know Sam Adams is very good. I won’t report each time I drink one, but will post a summary. Read it if you care. Prost! snagged in outlet 3 and Gavin 2 John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
