Martinis
Monkeys - I was at a client lunch today and the “power lunch” consisted of an entree of the day with a 3 finger martini. If you drink em, how do you order em?

Stirred not shaken
Yeah Bond liking watery martinis is a joke
The thinking behind Bond ordering his martinis shaken rather than stirred is because when Ian Fleming wrote the books, vodka was made at a higher proof than it is now. 40% is standard now but vodka and gin was much stronger back in his time. By shaking it, you are diluting it on purpose to water it down, thus preventing you from getting too drunk that you wouldn't be able to do your job ie: being a spy.
A modern reader of the books or someone watching the films would probably not realize that fact and instead just assume he enjoyed watery martinis.
Extra Dirty
Too salty if you go that route. Gordon's (I'm a cheap date) and a Gibson if I can pick. Very wet if the vermouth is decent.
Yeah I was kidding about the “Extra” - but I generally like dirty martinis.
Double vodka martini no vermouth olive on the side
Olive on the side? What do you want a silver platter with an olive on it? rofl
People out here asking for “martinis” lmao
vesper martini with a lemon twist, preferably hendricks and ketel one
Who the hell orders martinis
First time I had a martini I got it just to try it and see what it was about. I HATED it! Some time passed and I tried it again, liked it a bit more and later tried another and now I really enjoy them. Definitely an acquired taste but once you get it they're very refreshing.
They taste fine it’s just a hardo thing to order
dirty on the rocks with ketel one
bro on the rocks - people do that?
Yeah its very common - I don't like the up glasses
two parts gin, one part vodka, one part vermouth. garnished with a lemon since olives are disgusting and only subhumans like them. always stirred.
Olives are amazing and healthy.
My boss won't drink them unless they have a blue cheese olive...he actually gets angry if a bar doesn't carry blue cheese olives.
I also suspect he may be a cross dresser.
Damn. Blue cheese olives are novel but fucking gross.
Extra dry, rocks with a twist
straight up tito's, no vermouth, blue cheese olive, extra dirty. Preferably served prior to consumed a large, salty steak
This is it right here. Let the brine do the work. I want it to look like fucking bathwater when it comes out.
Monkey 47 and vermouth (5-to-1 ratio), served up with a twist. Can't do vodka martinis, too bland for me.
