Subj : Re: Any Martini Drinkers Here?

Best slightly pF> dirty. I've been experimenting (perhaps a bit to much) and have found that I like 1 part dry vermouth to 5 parts gin. I have been wanting to try a Gibson, but I keep forgetting to buy the cocktail onions when I'm in town. I have also become fond of vodka martinis, but I prefer sweet vermouth with the vodka.. and again I like the 1:5 part ratio. I don't use any garnish with the vodka martini though.. the olive doesn't seem to mate with the vodka well.. (maybe an onion?) Well.. it's almost 2PM.. I suppose it's late enough to down a Dry Martini (maybe two), and then a late afternoon nap might be good.
