martini

[Ankou]

on a recent jaunt, a friend had boiught along a bottle of martini.
i am of an age to remember the martini lady (any time any place, saucy blighter) and the rossiter/collns ads but have never actually tasted it.

i have to say, it really is quite foul.

i hate marmite, but by comparison it makes marmite look positively scrumptilicious.

Leonard Rossiter and Joan Collins... wasn't that Cinzano? I too am of a certain age and remember Martini (Dry). I quite liked it at the time. Mind you, at that time I also thought that Babycham was POSH.....

Ankou ...

Put the Martini in a glass ... swill it around, and tip it out.

Then fill the glass with gin.

Add a piece of lemon peel, or a green olive.

Perfect Dry Martini.

jj, sounds good, providing step 1 is overlooked.

[joggerjayne]

Well, if you miss out step 1 ... it's just a glass of gin !

[Ankou]

exactly

[joggerjayne]

Oh ... right.
