I do like a good martini. And a real martini ain’t made with vodka. Don’t care what anyone says.Martini in one hand, pipe in the other.
I have a hard time combining my gin with anything. Pairing, on the other hand....

They go well with wild game. I make a venison sausage that has ground juniper berries in it.Not relevant, but I can't resist, Winston Churchill's recipe for a gin martini: First, hold up the gin bottle and show it the Vermouth.
There is some reason that juniper berries are not used for flavoring anything else I know of.
Every time I think that you can’t possibly have any more interesting stories, you raise the bar ?blade', I think it's just a joke about Churchill's drinking, whether he added the Vermouth or not. My folks were devout gin martini drinkers and as I recall just coated the glass slightly with Vermouth, with usually olives on toothpicks. It didn't improve their otherwise more sunny personalities, but they never missed breakfast, family events, or work, so more power to them. For me, martinis are just sedation, but as they say, know your limits. We had martinis at my dad's graveside and tossed a few drops and the ice into the grave. I had a martini that day. I'm glad to know about the juniper berries in the wild game sausage; it sounds good! Just the right complement.
it's becoming a thing now... like vodka did.Yeah, and don't get me started on all of the amazing varieties of gin out there to try.

I could drink that. I just hate it when there’s no gin (or no vermouth).When it comes to Martinis I tend to mix a Vesper (apologies to Country Blacksmith) which is
3 parts Gin (Tanqueray)
1 part Vodka (Russian Standard or Smirnoff)
1/2 part Vermouth (Lillet Blanc)

Hmmm. Interesting. I don’t mind unique bontanicals but want it to still taste like gin.it's becoming a thing now... like vodka did.
i'm not in to flavored alcohols, and don't put anything in my martini glass but gin...
but i'm not going to lie. some of the stuff they're creating is delicious. Uncle Vals has a good line. Their peppered version is quickly becoming a favorite.
cheers
Haven’t tried that but may do. Or might just go 4 parts gin and 1/2 vermouth, lol. This evening’s was 4:1.When it comes to Martinis I tend to mix a Vesper (apologies to Country Blacksmith) which is

Plus I tend to use a rocks glass. More forgiving for adjusting serving size and less chance of knocking it about.Hmmm. Interesting. I don’t mind unique bontanicals but want it to still taste like gin.

You never really hear about cucumber flavored tobacco. I love the scent/taste of cukes.I do like Hendricks gin. They add cucumbers to it. It's refreshing. Makes a great gin and tonic.

it's definitely gin.
just hints of peppercorn and bell pepper along with it.
i tried Hendricks' "ORBIUM" version. now that's weird!
it tastes like gin, but has a bitters aftertaste. similar to amaro - if you've ever had that digestivo before.
