Too much vermouth

Gin guy here.
If it's made with vodka, it isn't a martini. Don't get me wrong. I love chilled vodka with a twist of lime in a martini glass. But it isn't a martini unless it's gin.



galaga and I once had a herf to determine which cigar went best with a (gin) martini. The verdict? All of 'em.

I'm with these boys. I'm a gin guy myself. I'm a sucker for Bombay Sapphire/Chartreuse Green/Ginger Ale with a full bodied CC. Careful though, the second ingredient will knock you on your ass if you use too much.

Otherwise, in the mixed drink category: Dark and Stormy - 3oz Dark or Aged Rum, 10oz Ginger Beer, splash of silver tequila on top, garnish w lime. Pour over ice in that order.

I like the Dark and Stormy with...oh, almost anything.

When I can find good ginger beer, I love a dark & stormy! Preferably using Bundaberg Rum! Never heard of adding the tequila. I'll have to give that a try.
