A good martini has so little vermouth that you can barely tell the difference anyway. A glass of gin is what a martini tastes like.
Not a dirty, vodka martini.... shaken, not shtirred....

The couple times I have had a Martini I have girly ones
Appletini's are awesomeYeah, not related to actual martinis. Girly ones are flavoured Vodkatinis. Martinis by definition are gin. People call vodkatinis that because they think that they are drinking from a martini glass. But correctly that is just a cocktail glass.

All the gin belong to @scottalanmiller

Yea... that was one terrible tasting drink.

@Rob was handing out Fireball shots and handed me instead a double shot of Johnny Walker Black - that was completely unexpected shot, quickly followed by a shot of the real deal - fireball.

@Rob gave it to me because he knows that I order that normally. One of my standard drinks of choice is an arid martini which means a glass of gin with so little vermouth that it is less than 1/16th and is generally handled via a splash, swish and toss method.

Martinis are very dependent on the gin, for obvious reasons, and should never have ice. Cheap gin and lots of ice made that one far less good than it should have been. Martinis are chilled but not iced and everything comes down to a good gin choice. New Amsterdam is what I drink.

That 12oz. of gin had a little splash of surprise flavor, err... backwashed flavor, too. Nothing to fear; the alcohol kills the bacteria.

I was thinking something very similar but I wasn't sure about the wording, so I just left it.

Bombay is a London style gin. I'm a Dutch style gin drinker myself. I prefer the powerful impact of the florals.

You, sir, may have ALL my gin... that was the 1st thing I ever got sick drunk on as a teen. Never again, the smell makes my stomach turn. I've tried to taste fancy, floral gin... same result.

Floral isn't fancy, it is Dutch.

I guess I'm lucky, the "getting sick on it" thing doesn't cause any later reaction for me. I've been sick on whiskey, did not diminish my love for it one bit.
