martini question
i've got what is probably a dumb question, but here goes. all the
recipes i've ever seen for martinis call for about 3 oz total of liquor. yet when i see people order martinis in bars (i don't usually drink cocktails myself), the cocktail glasses are usually filled to the top, sometimes forcing the patron to take a careful sip before lifting the glass. i understand there is *some* dilution from stirring or shaking, but certainly it can't be enough to fill the glass, can it? are these people simply receiving a double or triple size drink? if so, i never hear them specify "double" or "triple", and i don't recall them paying two or three times the price of a normal drink. if i were to make a martini for someone, and measured it carefully according to the recipe, would they feel cheated if the glass weren't full? do they come that way in proper bars? -dan |
