a basic dry martini consists of gin and dry vermuth.
the one i make is called an in-out martini it`s quick to make and tastes
identical each time:chill a coctailglass in a fridge, take it out put a splash
noilly prat in the glas. fill a big glass 1/3 with ice pour in 6cl of
tanqueray gin stir 3-5 sec. empty the coctailglass for vermuth pour the gin
add 2 big olives on a wooden stick. finally add a zest of lemon peel. enjoy!!
james bond drank his martini as a vodka martini. the same as above but,
substitute gin with vodka. he also liked his martini shaked, witch is a big
sin!!
the drink becomes diluted and hazy.ian flemming wich invented james bond
wanted bond to be an antihero that`s why he came up with the idea to shake the
martini.
the second "james bond martini" is from casino royale, and it`s called a vesper
it consists of 4cl vodka 1,5cl gin 0,5cl lillet blanc. shake and pour in a
coctail glass.
good luck
