Martini Beverages

[vt100]

I'm starting a martini thread, even though I'm sort of a martini snob. I feel that a "martini", with no other words attached, consists of gin, vermouth, and ice. Quantity of each is variable, subject to personal taste. However I am aware that there are several "martini-like" drinks that many people enjoy. I'd like to see your recipes listed here, preferably with an e-liquid that you enjoy while drinking your martini inspired concoction. I'm opening with a drink I've been trying to make for several months, I finally found the ingredients. I did not create it, Ian Flemming did for his James Bond character in Casino Royale.

The Vesper (according to Wikipedia & Esquire):
3 measures gin (I used Tanqueray)
1 measure vodka (couldn't find 100 proof Stoli, used 100 proof Segrams)
1/2 measure Lillet Blanc (this is what I had trouble finding!)
2 dashes bitters (Angostura)
Shake with plenty of ice (I stirred) and strain into cocktail glass

I used shots for the "measure" so this made quite a large martini. It is sweeter than my normal 8-to-1 dry martini, but it is a damn good drink.

Not sure if I could drink 2, but I'm about to try. I am pretty sure I'd flunk a breathalyzer after one! Enjoy and add your own!

With this drink I am vaping: 510 with VaporStation New York, 510 with Johnson Creek Arctic Menthol, and another 510 with TW Menthol. Just alternating between them...

I love a good martini! But I am afraid I only order them when I am out and can't make them. You would just hate what I do to them..dirty them all up with olives and some olive juice.
I haven't tried one with a vape yet, but I am thinking RY4 or a mild tobacco would go nicely.

its all about vodka...for vermouth, just splash some in the martini glass and dump it out...just want the glass coated or use a vermouth spritzer bottle

then its a double shot of vodka in a tin and shake the **** out of it and strain it in the martini glass...make sure theres ice shards in it, so shake it hard

please dont try my lemondrops or mojitos...i hate making them when im busy and im really good at making them
