Ice In My Martini/Some Martini Opinions - Beyond Tiki

My martini: chill cocktail glass by filling with crushed ice & a little cold water. Dump ice & water, swirl a little vermouth in glass - let it spill over the rim a bit, dump. Quickly shake freezer cold Bombay Sapphire with a few large ice cubes (shaking aerates the gin, bringing out the complex flavors). Strain into cocktail glass, twist strip of citrus peel over drink & drop in (I prefer tangerines for this). Enjoy! I learned on my recent visit to Magic Castle (thanks again Wierd Unc!) that WC Fields liked his martinis with a kumquat instead of an olive. [ Edited by: Traderpup on 2004-02-13 11:25 ]
