Quest for a perfect martini
Oct. 15th, 2008 09:42 amSweet martini: 3/4 pars gin, 1/8 part dry vermouth, 1/8 part sweet vermouth.
Medium martini: 4/5 part gin. 1/5 part vermouth
Dry martini: 5/6 parts gin 1/6 part vermouth
Glass martini: Swirl vermouth and ice in a glass. Discard. Add gin.
Breath martini: Drink a shot of vermouth. Breath into a glass. Add gin.
Los Alamos martini: Place a bottle of vermouth on top of an atomic bomb test. Place a glass of gin downwind.
Churchill martini: Pour a glass of gin, while glancing angrily across the room at a sealed bottle of vermouth.
Ideal martini: A glass of gin drunk whilst looking at a picture of vermouth.

Ooh! IDEA! Homoeopathic Vermouth.
We could do double blind experiments to discover what the difference between no vermouth, and probably no vermouth is.
Of course we'd need a large sample base :)
