I worked in a gimmicky upscale bar and grill a few years back.

I've heard that another reason you shouldn't shake a martini is because it cracks the ice too much so you end up straining small chunks of ice into your drink and dilutes it too much.

>Get a veggie burger, complain
>But you ordered a burger, "veggie burger" contains the word "burger" therefore I gave you a burger

Then again the kind of people who drink vodkatinis and insist on calling them martinis have the same psychological disorder as vegetarians who try to recreate proper meat dishes with TVP and bean paste instead of just accepting reality and using the ingredients in a way that brings out their innate goodness instead of making a pale knockoff of something good and saying "oh oh me too me too", to the consternation and horror of everyone around.

Did you know original martini's were mostly vermouth with some gin? Unless you get your martini's that specific way, you are not ordering a martini.

Do you see how stupid this argument sounds? This is the same argument you are trying to make, albeit poorly. The origin of martini recipes varied widely, and while it originally started with gin as the liquor component it didn't stay there.

The point of vodka is that it's a neutral flavorless spirit. It's perfect for a refreshing end to a night of hard drinking, or for drinks where the flavor isn't meant to come from the spirit, such as a bloody mary. It doesn't belong in a cocktail glass with a splash of vermouth, that's the worst of both worlds. Like TVP meatloaf.

And once again, people with taste buds let the flavors testify on their own behalf. People without taste buds appeal to authority because good taste and bad taste aren't self-evident to them. Have fun with your wine enthusiast.

No, no you can't. You're (sic) personal beliefs does (sic) not change reality. The reason vodka means a neutral spirit is because it's neutral relative to all other spirits, with the possible exception of shochu which is essentially vodka with a lower alcohol content. The fact that you heard some people (obviously not you) can tell the difference when drinking it neat side by side with other vodkas doesn't make you a supertaster.

I drink mine practically straight, without a fuckton of ice because its already cold, and just the smallest amount of gin (dry). And yes, I can tell the difference between different types if you put them side by side.

>it's neutral because other spirits have more taste!

Wow what a convincing and well written argument. It's still your own opinion, though. Simply because something is more subtle in flavor =/= it has none. But of course you would be too dense to notice, which is why you prefer gin martinis.

Martinis are mixed with ice and strained, by definition. They contain gin and no vodka, by definition.

A Negroni is equal parts gin, sweet vermouth and Campari.

A Boulevardier is equal parts bourbon, sweet vermouth and Campari.

They're both great drinks. The three-equal-parts thing can be fun to explore with all the different recipes out there. Substituting Aperol for Campari and Dolin blanc vermouth for sweet is also good, but i can't remember what that's called.

Recently I've been mixing equal parts bourbon, sweet vermouth and Cynar. Good stuff.

You can replace cachaça with vodka. But the flavor changes a bit. In my personal experiencie Absolut Acai Berry is what looks like cachaça the most when used in caipirinhas.

[Anonymous No.5073141]

Ok perhaps English is not your first language, since "can" is ambiguous let's clarify this:

If the goal is to create something like a capirinha with something as close to cachaca as possible, but there is no cachaca, vodka is a bad option.

Of course, anything with a fuck ton of sugar and lime in a glass is going to taste reasonably good, whatever you want to call it.

Once I ordered a caipirinha at an upscale bar in the summer, but I've never had it before and I didn't know how to pronounce it. Anyway, the waitress came out with a cappuccino, I was so confused, but it was my fault for being so fucking stupid. So I ordered it again, this time the right way. Holy shit. It is fucking god tier. Perfect for a hot summer day.

The Negroni has very strong flavors. It is at once both very sweet and very bitter. It might be a bit of an acquired taste.

The brown Indian servant boy is drawing pictures in the dirt outside with a branch from the fallen mango tree on the edge of camp, and you cluck your tongue at him in disapproval and tell him to fetch more tonic from the camp's doctor, Sir Galloway.

if I was making hedge fund money, I wouldn't mind a corison cab or a classic ridge montebello every so often.

for normal people there is no reason to settle for so-so bottles of $45 wine when there are so many great wines from italy, france, germany, and spain for $15-30

inb4 california butthurt and pretending it's still the 80s. nope. the 90s happened, and everyone else moved on. it's PNW now, you blew it california.

I drink gin straight. I just prefer it cooler.

[Anonymous No.5083026]

Ice cubes add water to the gin, therefore it is not straight.

Would you think a vodka and water is straight?

Man, caipirinhas are GOAT.

I once had this bottle of incredible cachaça that tasted like honey. I loved drinking it neat or in caipirinhas. It's probably my favorite cocktail.
..I have to get another bottle once I'm back in Austria.

"Straight up" is stirred with ice and strained. There are no spirits I prefer straight up to neat, personally. "Straight" as the other guy uses it I guess means "neat" which is just poured in a glass.

You could use whiskey stones but not at a bar obviously (unless you live in Ginza or something).

The straight vs straight up vs rocks vs neat shit is beyond most modern bartenders though so I'd specify what you want.

Currently I'm drinking a boulevardier, my favorite drink ever (pic related, but not mine)

1.75oz Bourbon (Elmer T. Lee)
1oz Campari
1oz Sweet Vermouth (Dolin Rouge)

It's definitely been around for a while- it was in Vintage Spirits and Forgotten Cocktails, and that was published in '06, IIRC. It would be nice if they're getting more attention- it's a wonderful drink, although it can be really finicky regarding the amount of bourbon

>>5084777
I find my local grocery store's liquor section to be a pretty good indicator of what's becoming mainstream. They started stocking cachaca about 9 months ago. I'd wager money that a caipirinha craze is on the horizon.

classic bartender here, you never shake a cocktail that only contains spirits.

hence: you never shake a martini

When I make a martini I pour 15ml of vermouth into a boston tin with ice.
Stir it, then pour away the vermouth, we only want a slight bit of vermouth which is now coating the ice.
Add your gin, and then stir, strain, serve and garnish with an olive or lemon peel.

Bruising the gin is kind of like searing in the juices when cooking meat. The phrasing is blatantly incorrect, but the advice is still legitimate. Shaking your martini doesn't "bruise" the gin, but it overdilutes it, leading to an inferior, watered down drink

since they were created, the ratio of gin to vermouth in a martini has been on the increase. it went from 1:1, to 8:1, right up to 50:1
