TWO PERSONAL RECIPES

The ‘Pasini Express’

Published since 1998 on a classic Martini website, the ‘Express’ is for the few who like a stronger taste.

Absolut ‘Red’ (50° proof) vodka;

Martini Extra Dry Vermouth

Two olives

Mix for one minute a bit of vermouth in a shaker, the  throw away the ice and pour as much Absolut as you need for one, two or three glasses. Stir it for another minute, then pour it in the glass(es) and add two large olives. Drink quickly and repeat as necessary.

An extraordinarily attractive site: 'The Hungover Gourmet'.

The 'Pasini Express' is their favourite....Thanks!

No, not this one.... for a good Martini cocktail, you'll need a really good glass

This a great Martini book:

'Shaken, not Stirred' By Anistatia R. Miller and Jared M. Brown

FROM 'CASINO ROYALE' TO 'MOONRAKER':

THE JAMES BOND-INSPIRED MARTINI,

‘The Vesper Revisited’

Dedicated to the enthusiasts who like the Bond of the Fleming’s books, not of the Broccoli movies, but can’t find the original Kina Lillet vermouth.

Absolut ‘Red’ (50° proof) vodka;

Tanqueray Gin;

Martini Extra Dry Vermouth;

Pepper

Mix for one minute a bit of vermouth in a shaker, the  throw away the ice and pour first the Tanqueray (1/3 of the total)  and Absolut (2/3 of the total) in the quantity needed for one, two or three glasses. Stir it for another minute, then pour it in the glass(es). You may like to put some grains of pepper in the glasses. Bond would undoubtedly approve.
