My favorite was from the TV show "MASH": 4 parts gin and one moments silence for the vermouth.
I was also told a story about the first atomic test blast in New Mexico. One of the scientists/engineers is reported to have put a bottle of vermouth next to the warhead so that it would be atomized and sent into the atmosphere, thus creating the perfect martini anytime he opened a bottle of gin. (probably not true. couldn't find it on any urban legends type website) Christian Skofteland [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- Original Message ----- From: "William Robb" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, March 16, 2003 4:18 PM Subject: How to make a dry Martini > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Bob Walkden" > Subject: Re: The things we do for money > > > > > as the old saying goes, to make a really dry martini you pour a shot > > of gin into a glass, drop in an olive, and bow in the direction of > > France. > > I believe my father kept a bottle of Vermouth in the garage.
