Dolin is about as good as you can get for white vermouth outside of France's borders.
You're a fag, but it's not because you posted a picture sideways, it's because you rely on the internet to decide what is and isn't pleb shit.

i dont think ive ever had the pleasure
have any good recipes for it?

>>15908556
thats cool. I love beer, but I'm doing a low carb diet this year so I'm really more about hard liquors rn.
Do you drink martinis?

>>15908561
yes i agree.
I can only drink three a night, and that's reall too much already for me. I use three parts vodka/gin, one part vermouth, and two tablespoons of olive brine for a "dirty martini"


im thinking of trying pic related because it's supposed to be a sweeter version of the regular "extra dry" stuff they make, but maybe I'll pass on that and keep experimenting with different brands at my local BevMo!

[Anonymous No.15908594]

>>15908581
Yeah I drink Martinis, but mine are usually entirely gin or have like a teaspoon of Vermouth in a half cup or a cup of gin.

[Anonymous No.15908602]

>>15908594
i started using a 1/3 part of vermouth in my vodka martinis after seeing some old guy bartender on YT say that the vermouth is the only flavored item in a vodka martini. It made sense to me.
Obviously, a "real" martini, one made with gin is a different story.

If you like bitter drinks you'll love a negroni. The classic negroni would be gin, sweet vermouth, and campari 1:1:1. However this recipe can be tweaked in a number of ways. If you substitute bourbon for gin and you have a boulevardier. Or you can use rye whiskey instead of gin and switch the sweet vermouth for dry vermouth, this is called an Old Pal. The negroni is a nice drink in itself and is also a nice base for experimenting. It's bitter, boozy, and little bit sweet.

I've only ever made them with gin, but I guess I prefer the less Vermouth or none at all. I just like cold gin in a funny glass, basically.

haha right i get it
im still trying to enjoy gin but im thinking its just not for me.
I currently have half a bottle of beefeater but I went back to vodka for the time being.
I've tried Tangerey, and a few others...bombay saffire.
I'll keep tying.

That's interesting, I've never really tasted a difference in gin. I just buy seagrams gin usually, but I've had all the others at some point. Vodka seems VERY different depending on the brand I get, I never get the complete bottom shelf anymore. I just can't handle it.

[Anonymous No.15908725]

>>15908696
hmm that's funny ive had the opposite experience.
Most vodkas seem similar to me,(like not much taste or flavor) but the gins have their own characters.
I think Bombay safire has the nicest taste, but then again ive only had like 3 or 4 brands.
Beef eater tastes kinda "heady" if that makes any sense at all lol

but yeah, i only buy middle shelve shit these days. fuck bottom shelf, and im too broke for top shelf.

pic related seems like some stuff you can get laid with

[Anonymous No.15908730]

La Quintinye extra dry is my preferred vermouth for martinis. Dolin is my second favorite and my preferred for cooking. Any time a recipe calls for white wine, i'll use dry vermouth instead.

[Anonymous No.15908764]

>>15908730
i dont usually cook with wine in general but im kinda a quasi-redneck so yeah...

hey anon the store where i bought the Dolan today also had pic related.
I'm basically on a quest to try other vermouths for my vodka martinis besides Martini & Rossi extra dry.

Should I try Littlet Blanc as well?

Come the fuck on, at least put gin with your Dolin.

Then you haven't tried much gin and you have no palate. You might as well switch to vodka

I'd love to try 'Tangerey' and 'Saffire', where may I acquire such unique goods?

The best dry vermouth for a martini is the one you prefer. I like Dolin as high as 1:5. I like Martini and Rossi in smaller amounts with less floral gins, but I find it gets in the way with even something like Hendricks..

[Anonymous No.15909842]

>>15908725
I used to main Bombay Sapphire for everything for awhile and is still my favorite even though i haven't gotten it in awhile. It a good balance of price and taste. I don't mind beefeater when i want to save a couple bucks. When i'm feeling fancy i get hendrick's but only use that for gin/soda because i like it on its own. Bombay i use for cocktails.

I just go around trying different bottles here and there, haven't found one i remember liking as much as bombay/hendricks though. I definitely use dryer stuff for martini's

Gin isn't for everyone, but you should know that every single gin out there is different. The only thing they have in common is junpier, but they all have radically different flavors because you can add ANYTHING to juniper gin and still call it gin. Some taste of sweet fruit, some taste of only juniper, fennel, pine, they can put pretty much anything in it.

I've tried a few different gins.(tangerey, Saphire, Beefeater, a few others)
It's ok, but I feel like vodka martinis are just much more clean feeling and refreshing.
I do 3 parts vodka, one part vermouth, two tblsp brine, three olives.
I'll keep trying different gins, but I think it might not be for me.

>>15909798
are you making fun of my spelling?

>>15909818
what's the least floral gin?

>>15909842
i gotta try hendricks next. I see it all the time and never pull the chord on it.
I have a feeling though that I'm gonna stay a vodka martin guy.

what's your favorite for a vodka martini?

Bombay Sapphire (the blue bottle one) is a good, smooth gin to start out on. Shit like Seagram’s should be avoided.

You don’t need vermouth. You only need 3 things for a good martini

Genever (if you consider it Gin) is the least floral... but it can be pretty rough. For easily found/common gin, Beefeater's definitely more juniper and citrus/coriander forward. There's no elderflower or anything directly/literally floral in it as far as I know, and the angelica's not super up-front. Bombay Sapphire's a little sweeter (in my opinion (I've never done the Pepsi challenge with them), a little rounder, and heavier on the angelica. Both are pretty much babby's first.

>>15912550
ive had saphire a nd beef, but im still not completly satisfied with gin.
I'm probably gonna try hendricks next or maybe say fuck it and buy more vodka since that's what I always enjoy
ive tried tanqueray as well.

If you don't like the taste of pine trees, you might as well not bother with gin. I can do a cold 4oz glass of slightly watered down pine and Italian foot wine, with or without the invaded olives or stripped citrus.

[Anonymous No.15913362]

[Anonymous No.15913389]

They'd probably never notice the vermouth (it's probably stale), but the gin's going to drop quickly. You're better off finding a friend with a fake ID to buy you some... or staying sober and doing your homework.

Gin is juniper flavored, not pine. completely different

[Anonymous No.15913580]

So what is you guys’ opinion on vermouth to gin ratio? I’ve heard that joke that a good martini is just gin that’s poured while looking in the vague direction of Italy, but realistically I usually do about 5/1 gin to vermouth.

It's really not that different. If an ice cold G&T doesn't remind you of a cold winter's day, trudging through coniferous forest, collecting pelts and hanging the meat from the trees to drain, then you're as dead and empty inside as those pelts.
