He didn't forget it, it's not a martini. It's just a shot of gin. Calling that a martini is like pouring rum into a glass, adding nothing else, and calling it a daquiri.

Wonderful documentary, and this dude's energy is amazing. Anyways, my usual martini order is as follows: "A Vodka Martini straight up with a lemon twist (stirred, obviously)". Also, I've tasted a Vodka Martini made with Hemingway's proportions (15:1) and I would say that it's a neat drink to order instead of your typical 5:1 martini

I know some gin martini fans like blending different gins together, but personally whether I'm going with gin or vodka I like a lot of vermouth in mine. Close to equal parts, I love the taste of vermouth . (Personally I consider the shaken vodka martini to be a very different drink. It's more diluted, cold, and refreshing. I like both for different occasions, like the standard old fashioned vs. the midcentury old fashioned.) But any which way you like it, you did a great job explaining the drink and its origins!

I only mentioned variations to the Manhattan in episode #1 but never actually did a show on those variations. As you may or may not know, I love my Manhattans and they've become a favourite of mine especially when I'm doing my laundry. Ha! I have in the past though, experimented with subbing out the sweet vermouth with a variety of specialty syrups and let me tell you, they are some of the most interesting tastes I've experienced. I may just have to revisit the Manhattan with some offbeat innovations in the future. Thanks for the suggestion.

My preferred Martini is 2oz. Ford's Gin, 1oz of dry vermouth, 2 dashes orange bitters, and a lemon twist. Stirred.

Maybe it was "invented" by people who wouldn't keep their vodka in the freezer - as it should be. So they chilled it below zero by shaking it and served it up in a fancy Martini glass :D Or by people who mimicked Churchill but used a more neutral spirit instead of gin. Anyway, it's different from a vodka shot, as it's diluted, quite a lot actually.

To me it's always been odd to make a vodka Martini and still use vermouth. Gin is basically flavoured vodka. If you go adding vermouth (flavour) to your vodka then you are making it into gin. Sort of. I guess perhaps as long as there is not any juniper it's different. Perhaps. Anyway. There's very little I ever do plain with vodka. Ice cold with blinis. Ritual toasts. And flavoured vodkas are nuts. It's supposed to be flavourless... and a 1/4 of the liquor store is full of different flavoured vodkas!? WTF?! I kept a bottle of Stoli and several bitters and bottles of extracts around. You need vanilla vodka? -- Vodka plus dip an eye dropper into the vanilla extract. Pepper vodka? -- Vodka and Tabaso sauce. Dream Sickle -- vodka, vanilla extract, orange bitters, simple syrup, ½ oz cream.
