They seem so good in the movies, but actually taste mostly just like straight vodka, which most people aren’t going to enjoy.

Yeah they’re vodka martinis. They ARE terrible lol. Gin is much better, more interesting with the botanicals. I usually do Beefeater gin if they have it
If I’m not doing a small distillery gin I usually do Hendrick’s.
Satan’s Maggoty Cum Fart has this right. A gin martini, specifically Hendricks has it right. Dirty is ideal.
I just picked up Drumshanbo with California Oranges and it is positively delicious, very strong nose without a strong taste, great for sipping or mixing.
Tanq 10 is on my list but every place I’ve visited didn’t have it
Gosh I tried Hendrick’s for the first time last year. Polished off the bottle in two weeks, that’s stuff is lovely in a G&T
I do like a gin martini, but as a tequila drinker, nothing beats a dirty Tequila Martini.
God that sounds disgusting. I think, for the first time in 4+ years of sobriety, I actually feel genuinely sad for not being able to try that one out. It sounds so awful it must be good.
Hey, stay strong brother. That one drink isn’t worth giving up your progress. I don’t know you, but I’m proud for you.
I like tequila with a pickleback, which is the way less classy version of this.
Martinis do not involve tequila. That would be a different drink. When you change the single largest ingredient by volume you have a new drink
Gin Martini
Vodka Martini
Martinis is plural. You can make Martinis with any clear spirit. Whether or not you make it again is a different story.
If I make a Manhattan with Scotch did I make a Manhattan or did I make a different drink?
You’d have a Scotch Manhattan.
If you make a margarita with scotch, you’d have a scotch margarita.
We’re not mixologists designing new drinks.
I’ve made tequila with clamato juice, did I make a Tequila Cesar, or is it a different drink??
No if you combine bitters, Scotch, and vermouth you have a Rob Roy because changing the primary component makes a new drink.
Fine,
Tequila, Vermouth, olive juice is called a Trex
That works
Bonds Wodka Martini does have 3/4 of gin and only 1/4 of wodka:
