How to Make a Good Martini

All you haters!!!

Remember the "Grapenuts" commercials of the 1970's with Euell Gibbons..... "Many parts of a pine tree are edible!"

That aside, I must be strange (but most of you know that already!). I love a good martini. Prefer mine "dirty", and with the vermouth poured in, then back out, then add the rest of the ingredients. Since I make mine "dirty" with the olive juice, I have no real preference on the olive as a garnish. Hard to beat Amsterdam brand for taste and price, IMO. But will always take one with Tang or Sapphire. And love gin and tonic. But in spite of that love, I cannot stand IPA's!! A waste of good water and yeast!

But I have also been known to eat a pine tree or two!!
