  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?

  Bonds Wodka Martini does have 3/4 of gin and only 1/4 of wodka:

  The International Bartenders Association (IBA) recipe calls for 45 ml gin, 15 ml vodka, and 7.5 ml Lillet Blanc in place of Kina Lillet
