This weekend, I had the best martini I've had to date - which I think we can probably hold the conversation that I've had a cocktail or two in my day.....

Key lime martini - different than any other one I've ever had b/c it even had the vanilla/crust taste - little taste of alcohol - and knocked you on your tush.
Was made with : Licor 43, Lemon & Lime juice, stoli vanil & a dash of cream.

Another new fav is a dulce de leche martini......



SO.... Aside from the traditional - what are some of YOUR favorite martinis, and what's in 'em?

In cancun they make these awesome peach martinis, got me hooked. Although I feel like a pussy ordering one. But they are amazing.

Just about any resturante makes good strawberry martinis.

8/28/2007 4:54:19 PM

1 gallon smirnoff
1 gallon vermouth
10 olives
profit?

8/28/2007 4:59:49 PM

^ You could drink martini's until you pass out every day until you die of liver failure and NEVER use that much vermouth.

Ive never really had a dirty martini. I was just padding.

8/28/2007 5:03:28 PM

Please restrict your padding and trolling to chit chat, dumbass.

8/28/2007 5:30:16 PM

Dirty refers to adding olive juice to the martini, not vermouth...

the amount of vermouth determines the dryness of the drink (the less vermouth, the more dry it is)

Don't get me wrong, I buy them for friends often, but I always get the bartender to write HOMO or PUSSY on it with chocolate and then give it to whichever guy is drinking like a bitch that specific night.

One time I even got them to draw a chocolate stick figure fucking another chocolate stick figure in the ass. If I find the pictures I'll post them.

Regardless, its a total bitch drink and you are less of a man for liking it.

yeah man I am so gay.

Now stfu and leave...because I bet you can't call me gay if you see me in public. Pussy

8/28/2007 5:36:10 PM

Well, yeah I can, bitchboy.

Gotta love you internet tough guys sipping on ice cream flavored cocktails.

8/28/2007 5:37:26 PM

3 parts gin
1 part vermouth

8/28/2007 6:02:02 PM

I tried a basil martini in cleveland. Sounds disgusting, but it was unbelievable.

8/28/2007 6:19:57 PM

Shaba Shabu has a sake-tini that sounds weird, but is amazing (if you like sake). It comes with little slices of cucumber it it. First you taste the cucumber, then the vodka, then the sake. Yum

8/28/2007 6:34:06 PM

Blue Martini makes one called the magnum, appropriately named

8/28/2007 6:55:18 PM

2 oz citrus vodka
1/2 oz fresh lemon juice
1/4 oz fresh pomegranate juice
1 oz simple syrup
1 cupful of American Grade A C-cup Titty

8/28/2007 7:04:47 PM

Heres the martini of a chocolate stick figure fucking another chocolate stick figure in the ass.

8/29/2007 4:40:01 PM

I dunno what's more gay: The person drinking that martini, or the person who thought about the figure stuff at a bar.

8/29/2007 4:47:57 PM

How about the person who doesn't realize that its the gayest cocktail ever and jumps into a martini thread yelling "Mint martinis! YUMMMMM!"

French Martini from Bogarts. Vodka, Chambord, Champagne

8/29/2007 10:29:13 PM

French Martini from Hotel Roanoke is the best I've ever had

of course, besides the key lime mentioned above.....

8/30/2007 12:25:27 AM

you need to check out Tini Biggs

only catch is that it's in Seattle

although i think they have a recipe book you can buy...might try contacting them

8/30/2007 1:11:48 AM

There's really only 1 recipe for martinis.

- 3 parts gin
- dry vermouth to taste (usually 1 part or considerably less depending on taste. If I'm making one it's usually swirled in the glass and then dumped out before pouring in the gin.)
- olives

anything else isn't a martini. There are other drinks that go by the same name, but they aren't martinis. That's like saying, "I want a rum and coke, but with bourbon and pepsi instead, oh, and ad a lemon wedge." The only remotely acceptable change is to substitute vodka for gin.

8/30/2007 1:20:58 AM

agreed

but i don't like gin, and i don't like olives

but some of those things they call martinis can be pretty good

8/30/2007 1:22:46 AM

I'll have an appletini, light on the tini.

8/30/2007 1:24:50 AM

Chocolate martini? Mint martini? Bullshit!

What every martini menu should be:

" Martinis: Your choice of gin. With one olive. With two. "

8/30/2007 6:08:47 PM

hmm
vodka martinis at my bar dont even get vermouth unless they ask

doesnt a french martini have a bit of cran in it too?

8/30/2007 6:43:10 PM

I had a Pineapple Martini at Sullivan's that was very tasty. They claimed to have soaked a pineapple in vodka for 7 days, then use that juice with of course more vodka to make the drink. If you like pineapple, you'll love it. And no, it wasn't too sweet either.

8/31/2007 4:45:27 PM

^I was going to post about that in this thread

braza had an upside down pineapple martini that was also delicious, but I don't know how they made it

8/31/2007 5:41:07 PM

You guys make me cry.

9/1/2007 2:23:05 PM

Cinnamon Appletini

2 parts goldschlager
1.5 parts sour apple liqueur (or non-alcoholic sour apple mix)
2 parts sweet/sour mix

You can adjust the apple and sweet/sour mixes to your liking.
I know goldschlager doesn't seem like it would make a good martini but it really is good.
