Martini - vodka or gin ?

[deftron]

your preference..

Gin for sure.

I'm not a big fan of Martini's but when I do have em they have to be Gin, wet, with at least 2 olives.

A "martini" made with vodka is NOT a true martini.

Martini IMPLIES gin.

The only way you can legitimately get vodka in a martini glass with 2 olives is if you get a vodkatini. NOW SAY IT RIGHT!

 

[ThaGrandCow]

gin all the way... even though it's nasty

Doesn't "Martini" imply vermouth, not gin ?

 

[Fausto]

Gin. I can't stand vodka.

 

[ElFenix]

vodka. gin tasts like a damn forest.

 

[isaacmacdonald]

gin. I like them both, but vodka just doesn't have that much flavor-

 

[BigSmooth]

I prefer vodka martinis.

 

[Encryptic]

Vodka martini, shaken, not stirred

 

[Hammer]

i prefer vodka to be honest

Gin.
Bombay Saphire if you are hip and a crowd chaser.
Gliberts if your are on a budget.
Tanquery if you're old school.


The perfect martini - 4 oz of chilled gin, an olive speared by a toothpick, and the vermouth bottle waved over the rim of the martini glass (okay, if you must, a couple drops of Vermouth)

It's cold gin time again..

No poll?
It's gotta be gin, you whores. Preferably Bombay Sapphire. BTW, Bombay Sapphire has been one of the best gins for a Looooooong time. It's not hip and trendy, it really is that good. Tanq 10 - THAT's trendy.

Actually there is a poll, and I prefer to be called SLUT rather than whore thank you.

Have you ever sat down and tasted various gins side by side? Tanqueray (the original stuff) is much better than Sapphire or anything else IMHO.

I drink my Martinis like Churchill does. He had a great quote regarding the vermouth in the Martini.

We did a "Pepsi Challenge" with 4 different gins: Bombay Sapphire, Tanqueray, El Ceapo Gasoline Brand, and Beefeater.

I took Beefeater hands down.

Weird...I'm not at my "home" computer so I wasn't logged in, but I thought if you weren't logged in it showed you the results of the poll as opposed to no poll at all.
