Equal Parts Gin and Sweet Vermouth, Toast New Year with Original Martini

December 31, 2012 by serge the concierge

Last Friday, I had a very interesting talk with Jared Brown and Anistatia Miller, authors of Shaken not Stirred (revised paperback edition, Willam Morrow, January 2013).

"The original martini cocktail was made with equal parts gin and sweet vermouth, often garnished with a cherry. If the vermouth is fresh, it is an excellent drink" writes Jared.

Bonne Annee, Happy 2013 from Chilly New Jersey with Dusting of Snow

Jan 2
Last days of 2012 and first couple of days of 2013 have been cold enough to make me feel envious when a friend informed me she was spending a restoring week in sunny Puerto Rico. The cold spell has also brought a bit of snow to our area. Much more fell in Vermont to the delight of skiers. Bonne Annee, Happy 2013 from chilly New Jersey!
