I know my father has vermouth, but I'm not sure if he has gin. He usually makes his martinis with vodka. The gin sounds better though.

No, a drink made with Vodka and Vermouth is actually a "Kangaroo". Any proper alcohol snob (similar to a prog snob, only sexierPlease refer to the chat thread.) will tell you that a martini is made with gin only!

I'll give El Barto's a go this weekend at some point...I typically prefer super dirty with green olives, but I'm open minded.

I was unaware of that. I wonder if my father realizes that.

And for the record, I'm sexier than any alcohol snob on this forum...except maybe King.

millah,

I suggest you do it this way.

Fill a martini glass with ice and water to let it chill.
With garnish tool, remove roughly 18 inches lemon peel and curl it round a swizzle stick. I'll try and post a photo later.
To a shaker 3/4 full of ice add:
     3 ounces Bombay Sapphire East gin
     1/2 ounce Martini & Rossi Extra Dry vermouth
Shake for as long as you think correct, then shake it another 30 seconds.
Empty the ice and water out of the glass.
Add the lemon peel.
Strain the shaker into the glass.

Savor slowly to allow the lemon to really infuse the drink.

Well, in Dad's defense. The Bond movies (the books never made this mistake) made the "Vodka Martini" a popular misnomer. In fact, it's so much part of the modern drink culture's lexicon that no bartender (except perhaps me and El Barto) would correct someone and say, "No, you want a Kangaroo."

Blackfloyd will tell you that something with Vodka, Kahlua, Chocolate Sauce and a splash of virgin PJ is some sort of martini as well. He's wrong, but he's so adorable that I just nod and clap my hands with delight.

Meaning I'm on my second sazerac.  But you're welcome!

Podaar, in used to bartend back in the day, and I don't think I've got the skills to do an 18" strip of garnish!  But I'll try it anyway.

Sezerac is very similar to an Old Fashioned (the cocktail) but rye is often substituted with cognac. I'm pretty sure they don't put an orange slice in it either. Bitters are a must.

Right millah?

It's like a Creole old fashioned.  Slosh the glass with absinthe first, then rye, simple syrup and Peychaud's bitters, with an orange twist.

Really? I find it pretty simple. It's just two times (maybe two and a half) round a lemon. Like this.

It as a southern-style turnip and collard green soup, with Texan-style pimento cheese dip.  It wasn't so much an intended paring, as just the most appropriate beer from what we had on hand.

I often get mix-a-sixes at the grocery store so that there's always something new to try. I also always try to have several bourbons on hand as well. I'm always looking for something new to try. I'm at the liquor store once every week or two, usually for standard Jack Daniels.
