Well, if you want really good martini's try Bombay Blue Sapphire that has a
few pods swimming around in the bottle in the freezer for a few weeks. (Habs
are good, but my favorite are the Thai's.) I like the 8/1 ratio and top off
with a hab stuffed olive. Now that IS a martini! Use only Martini & Rossi
Vermouth and shake with ice- no stirring allowed. This makes crystals of
Bombay - oh it's a beautiful thing.
Martini's were first served/invented just a few miles up the road from here
in Martinez when a guy in the 1870's stopped in a bar and asked for "a pick
me up." Believe me the Alamo version with the pods is a real "pick me up"!
