Weve just started using Tanqueray No10- buts its hellsihly expensive. Single malt prices, but far suprior to Blue Spahire or Tanqeray. Id rather use Gordons or Vickers than those two, but I do enjoy them both more in a G&T.
Martini-
Crack ice, put in mixer, add Noilly Prat. I use less than a bottle capful for two+ measures of gin. (Standard recipe calls for 4/1 vermouth, so experiment.)
Remove your glasses from freezer storage, add a small quanity of fresh lemon skin (lemon to taste, this can really affect things). Shake gin no more than 10 secs, pour into the chilled glasses over lemon.
Some say the gin should not go cloudy from the cold, but we like martinis chilled, so cloudty the martini is. Crushed ice is essential to drop the temp quickly withou getting ice melt to dilute the gin.
Such a simple thing, so hardto get right. Enjoy.
