However, I like mine with Stoly or Chopin vodka. Chopin is preferable, as its a smoother distillation of vodka, as potato vodkas usually are (Glacier being another example).

If you like Chopin, you'd dig Grey Goose the most. It's the best vodka I've ever had. I treat myself to it every now and then and it's the only thing I drink when I order a martini at a bar.

I don't do gin but at least I don't hold it against people who do.

Have you ever had Chopin? Grey Goose is a grain alcohol, Chopin a potato. They taste nothing alike.... For grains, I myself like Stoly.

If you HAVENT tried a potato vodka, I highly recommend you give them a try.

Yes, I've tried Chopin, I've tried Belvedere, I've tried Blue Ice, Aboslute, Kettle One, etc. I've tried almost all the best vodkas. Grey Goose is the best IMHO.

There is only one acceptable martini recipe:

3oz premium gin, Beefeaters, Tangueray or equivalent
Whisper the word "vermouth" into the glass while pouring the gin
Stir gently with a couple of ice cubes
Strain into martini glass
Add 2 olives.
