That got the rusty wheels turning again. I love an occasional dry Martini for tw... DRY: Years ago on Western Airlines, I'd get a glass, Gin, and the Vermouth bottle had a spray applicator on the top. I'd Pour the Gin, then pump the Vermouth sprayer and let the atomized Vermouth gently drift onto the Gin.
DRIER: First, pour some Vermouth into a Martini glass and rinse the inside of the glass with it, then pour it all out. Fill the glass with your favorite Gin.
DRIEST: First, Ritually Pass the unopened Vermouth bottle directly over the Martini glass, then put the Vermouth bottle away. Pour your favorite gin straight into the Martini glass. Enjoy your truly dry Martini.
I always liked my Martinis "James Bond" style: Stirred not shaken per Ian Fleming. God forbid that any ice or water should contaminate the potency of a concoction such as a Martini!
Yes, this is an old-school drink and is definitely an acquired taste, much like a Cuban cigar. (no I haven't acquired THAT taste!) You either make a face and declare it tastes worse than bad medicine or you savor it as your eyes roll back in ecstacy, and you declare "I think I'll have another." What does this have to do with anything disability-related? Absolutely nothing other than if you are able to get one down it is something anyone, disabled or not, can enjoy.
