The Vodka Experiment
I tried the vodka martini w/olives last night. It was amazing. And by "amazing", I actually mean horrible. I just can't do it. The vodka taste doesn't blend with either the vermouth or the olives. You have three tastes swirling around in your mouth fighting for supremacy over each other. Gin is the great uniter that brings them together.
Ah, gin, I'm sorry I looked anywhere else. But you know how it is, Baby. A man gets curious.
SLAP!
But, Baby -
SLAP, SLAP!
There. Did you get that out of your system? Now get in that shaker and stir yourself around a little bit while I get the anchovy stuffed olives. Feel free to douse yourself with 3-6 drops of vermouth, but no more than that. And here, wear this.
Oh, sorry. I sort of drifted off into my own little world there. Heh, heh. Imagine that.

Vodka should have no discernable flavour at all. That's why they keep having to add shit to it, like mango and apple and rutabaga.
I'm not saying gin doesn't make a wonderful martini - I am just a vodka lover, myself and maybe I'm crazy to call Vodka without vermouth a martini - but it's what I do.
