Good morning, fellas.
Well Damn, you wake up Tony the Martini? Morning Mayor, happy Friday
Those Martinis may be the best thing that ever happened to me... And my kids. In no particular order.
Morning Tony. I heading out at lunch to pick up some vermouth and track down those jalapeno olives TxDave was talking about. You're an inspiration!
I was doing a few searches on the interwebs yesterday and read some good things about those olives. I'm gonna track them down too. I used a few dashed of hot sauce in my concoction last night and it worked for me. And for the record, I liked the martinis better with my shit vermouth than the night prior without any. Definitely will seek out the Noilly Prat though... When I finish the $6 / 1 Liter bottle of Tribuno.
So you're going to suffer through a bottle of bad vermouth instead of pitching it? You're a masochist.
I wouldn't classify myself as cheap, but I really don't like waste. I may use it in cooking just to get through it a bit quicker. Again, I don't know what good vermouth tastes like, but the Tribuno didn't repulse me. I'm not big on Manhattans because I don't like sweet vermouth. Dry works for me though.
