Default Re: A Martini thread?
As for vermouth, the M&R X-Dry seems fine to me. What I do is pour it over the ice, then dump it out, so your glass-spinning method appears similiar, and suitable to my taste for a dry martini. As for olives, I feel that's all a matter of taste too. Me, I like two, but only the brine that soaks out of it. You do what pleases you. Blue cheese? Interesting. Not for me, but again, it's your drink.

Nota bene, at one other time somebody started a martini thread on here, and the "purists" avowed that the only drink which can be called a martini is made with gin. Hey, I'm with you, and prefer vodka, but be warned . . . you may catch flak.
