Martini

Closing out gin week is the drink that probably should have kicked-off gin week. Oh well.

2.5 gin
1/2 vermouth

No garnish for me, thanks. I always found the olives to be a bit odd, and I didn’t have a lemon handy.

This drink taught me why I didn’t like the Bronx Cocktail. It wasn’t because the Bronx was “gin-y”, it was because the Bronx was “vermouth-y”. When the ratio of gin to vermouth is more strongly in gin’s flavor, like it is in a dry martini, the taste is fine.
