Although, recently I've taken to rinsing anchovies and stuffing them into queen olives. Both gins you post are excellent. I sometime prefer regular Bombay. Tanqueray is my favorite, though.

I'd say stuffing the olive is a valid option (though anchovies are among my least favorite foods... to each his own).

I like regular Bombay as well as Tanqueray (in facy, I prefer regular Tanqueray for a gin and tonic).

As far as blueberry martinis are concerned puros_bran... well, let's just say I admire you for having the guts to admit you drink those Smile

2 shots Wild Turkey Rye 101
1 shot Noilly Prat Sweet Vermouth
cuppa drops bitters ( I like Peychauds)
Shaken until my fingers stick to the frozen metal sides, strained into chilled martini glass
Drink and Repeat

I love Manhattans. Give this variation a go:

1/3oz Noilly Prat dry vermouth
2/3oz Martini sweet vermouth
3oz Maker's Mark (or your favourite Bourbon or Rye)
dash of bitters

Shake and strain into cocktail glasses. Garnish with a Morello cherry.

The combination of the vermouths add some complexity and tones down the sweetness just a bit. The 3:1 ratio lets the whisky shine through a little more brightly.

When I have it, I like either Carpano Antico or Vya sweet vermouth. These are complex enough to make a fantastic Manhattan without mixing with a dry vermouth.

I often make these with either Wild Turkey rye, or Ritterhouse, which is a lovely small batch rye that's about the same price as WT.

The sun is over the yardarm somewhere in the world. It's cocktail time! Wink

Cheers!

Thanks Greg...........Ill have to give your recipe a go.
Would you call that a "Perfect" Manhattan ??
The Vya vermouth.............hard to find and I could kick myself for not getting any when we visited Quady last year.
Oh well, I'll keep looking and when I do find some maybe I'll break into my precious stash of Bohemian Scandal and have a bowl.

Perfect? I'll have to try a couple hundred more variants. I'll get back to you on that. Wink

Technically, the "Perfect" Mahnattan would have equal parts of sweet and dry vermouth. That loses some of the magic, to my tastes. And, I know what you mean about finding Vya. The Carpano Antica is as good, and might be a little more widely available. It's good as an aperitif, too.

I wish we could get those rye whiskeys here in NC. The only rye available here through the communist run ABC stores is Jim Beam Rye. They were carrying the Wild Turkey Rye for a short period of time and stopped for some reason. My favorite is Van Winkle Family reserve but they refuse to carry that one too.

I've got two stand bye cocktails.

The Churchill Martini
Several ounces of gin, (Sapphire is the tradition for Br Churchill, but Hendrix gin wasn’t around then) over ice. Shake till thirsty. Place dry vermouth bottle with the sun shining through it onto you glass. Pour through vermouth tainted sunbeam into stemmed glass. Garnish with a twist.

Or

Manhattan
Bourbon, ½ capful of sweet vermouth, bitters to taste and a couple marichinos.
