Birth date: Mid to Late 1800’s
Origin: Unknown
One of the simplest of all cocktails, the Martini will always
carry an air of danger, mystery, and sophistication thanks to fictional British
Secret Service agent 007, James Bond. My introduction to James Bond was through
actor Roger Moore and my first Martini was mixed by artists Amanda Freymann and
Joel DeGrand in their Beverly Shores home. I don’t know if it was the martinis
or driving through Beverly Shores at night, but my wife and I got lost for an
hour. We were fortunate that Amanda and Joel weren’t looking out their windows,
because they would have seen us pass their home about four or five times
in different directions.
Recipe:
- 2 oz. Gin
(substitute Vodka for a classic “Bond” martini)
- 1 dash of dry
vermouth
- Olives or Lemon
Twist
In a mixing glass or shaker half-filled with ice cubes, combine
the Gin and Vermouth. Stir or shake well. Strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish
with the olives or lemon twist.
You are back!!!!! Awesome, we have been waiting! The video clip is great. Every time I order a Martini now I will Ask for it shaken, not stirred!
