Personaly, I love my martinis shaken. There is a vodka my old resturaunt used to serve called Hanger One. It's made in California and I think it's the best vodka in the world, hands down. Anyway, if you shake the hell out of some Hanger One and a little vermouth until the shaker is covered in frost, then strain it into a chilled glass with three bleu chees olives, you will have one kick-ass cocktail!

Hanger One is made right in my town of Alameda by St. George Spirits. They also make a single malt whiskey (it's not a bourbon because it's not from Kentucky), some varieties of eau de vie, a grappa, raspberry and pear liqueurs, and vodka.

Just last Sunday I rode my Vespa over to their newly opened tasting room. They are located in the former Alameda Naval Air Station in an old aircraft hanger. Tastings are $10 but you get to try all of their product and keep the glass.
