the only real martini's are made with gin

It started with vodka martinis. I was a vodka martini drinker trying to decide between stoli's or absolute, eventually settling on 3 Olives vodka... Then I got to thinking about a comment someone made: why would you want to drink neutral spirits in a martini? I began to wonder that myself. If the vodka is neutral then you are tasting mostly vermouth.... hmmmm.... went to tasting.com (thanks grtrx) and decided on a bottle of Bombay London Dry Gin. Well... there was no comparison between gin and vodka martinis. Gin martini has all sorts of flavor. vodka martini did not. Heck, I know this will start a firestorm of controversy... but dear reader I am letting you know.... only make martinis with gin!


BTW... I topped the martini threads so that you could look at the history of this important issue before jumping into the fire.
