Martini is exactly what is called for. Regardless of the shape of the
glass, freeze it, pour in a little dry vermouth, swish it around, pour
out what's not frozen to the glass of any shape, add very cold Bombay
Sapphire and two olives.


Not liking olives all that much, I use onions, but the method is a good one.
Just a hint of vermouth; any more overpowers the gin and wastes the money
spent on the botanicals.


My father always liked his with a lemon twist. We always seemed to have
a poor slowly denuded lemon drying up in the fridge later to be tossed
down the disposal once all the peel was gone.
