Shaken, not stirred
So tonight I made my first ever attempt at a dry martini
used 8 parts New Amsterdam gin and 1 part dry vermouth
shook 'er up..and she's pretty damn good for a first try
(notice the ghetto olive skewer, broken off shish-ka-bob stick lol)
how do you guys make/like your martinis?

I'm sure i would be like the drunk teen, I'd guzzle about six of them like I do beer, did the same thing the last time I drank tequila. 6 shots chased with a cold beer after drinking beer all day. I don't drink liquor no more.. LOL...

hey..she's almost 20..LOL
and I pride myself in my drunkardness. I can take 8-10 shots and be feeling good all night. 2 of these ****'s and I'm wrecked! i guess I just suck at making them..I've never had one at a restaurant so i have nothing to compare too. but every sip is tastes close to a really cold really big shot.

lol. i have had 1 martini. not sure if i like them yet. I really like manhattans, that is a mans drink. haha.
i need to/started to cut back on how much i drink lately. 1 reason is because i am trying to lose weight and beer is the first thing to go really. another is it takes me about 10 beers to even start feeling a buzz; or like 4 shots back to back.
if you like your gin, try a Tom Collins. my friend and i played fifa and drank tom colins and they really fucked with our heads... his night end with him making out with some ugly chick. lol.
and when i drink gin, i only buy Tanqueray 10. It owns all, but expensive, especially for a college student.
oh, fishy..pixorban.

Hate to poke a hole in ur bubble, but if you dont eat while you drink you wont gain weight. Theres almost no fat in beer, the reason you get fat while drinking is because of the crap you eat while ur drunk. Or atleast thats what recent studies say.
#18
that is true to an extent. but if you consume A LOT OF BEER, those calories are not all going to be burned. so if you consume 10 beers, thats alomst 1000 calories, and factor in you NORMAL food intake. it adds up in the end. its not all about the fat content, you gotta take into account of the calories too. cause if the calories are not burnt, they turn into fat.
#19
liquid calories are one of the biggest contributors to gaining weight...why do you think they tell people to cut soda and alcohol to lose fat? you know.. beer belly..

I generally am too. never go with out a bottle of Johnnie Walker black.
but I want to branch out..learn how to make every drink I can, and make it well

If you want to get serious and have a really dry martini skip the vermouth,use Bombay Sapphire Gin and a perfect twist of lemon peal.
Pure refreshment but not for novices

One shot of Bailey's Irish Creme
One shot of Irish whiskey
Pour shot of whiskey in glass of Guinness

I also like the Amsterdam Gin.
I make mine extra dirty.
I have been making mine this way for about 2 years now:
2 ice cubes in the shaker
Roughly 4 oz. of gin
1 tablespoon vermouth
2 tablespoons olive juice
3 olives
Shake it all together about 10 times
Strain it in the glass and stab the olives with a toothpick and drop them in
I like the small olives...not the big ones.
