Got to thinking about this today what exactly makes the perfect Martini in your book. Shaken? Stired? Dirty? With Onion or without? What is the perfect Martini?

From a "martinti" site on the web:
In his superb book, The Martini, author Barnaby Conrad III says this:
"The Perfect Martini, as an idea, has infinite possibilities. For me, the Dry Martini remains an American symbol of elusive perfection, a kind of pagan Holy Grail. The dedicated Martini drinker views this deceptively simple cocktail as a true if fleeting, salvation, ... As in religion, one may not have actually witnessed the Conception of the Perfect Martini, but one accepts on faith that it exists, and that it takes away the sins of the earth." -

The martini is a drink for pretentious fops and Bond wannabes. Therefore, by definition, there is no such thing as a "perfect martini."
Give me a good Kentucky or Tennessee bourbon, straight up, anytime, over that poofter drink.When all else fails, blame brown people. | Hire a teen, while they still know it all. | Trump-Palin 2016. "You're fired." "I quit."Comment

Dirty gin martini, just a whiff of vermouth, up. Given that gin makes up so much of the volume of the martini, it's very important that you start with good gin. Bad gin makes bad martinis. Recommended: Tanqueray, or (better yet) Tanqueray 10, or Bombay Sapphire.Comment

The best bottle of Whiskey evah was a bottle of Early Times which contained a glowstick so that it wouldn't get lost as it was sitting about 5 miles south of the north trail head of the Lost Cove on the Mendicino coast. It was shared amongst four friends under a grinning moon with some commet we never figured out how to pronounce shinning over the darkened pacific ocean that errupted from time to time as the migrating whales came up to breathe.
The best drink ain't always about what's in it.Comment

Btw, to reiterate, STIRRED, not shaken. Maybe some people like their martini's brused, but not I.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
