[quote=cacman]In general, white is used with white liquors, and the sweet or red version is used with colored liquors.

But to clarify, all dry vermouth is white, but not all white vermouth is dry. Use depends on personal taste.

Thanks, Cac.

Years ago AndyTV made a suggestion to take a twist of lime and rub the skin around the rim of the martini glass to get some lime oil on there. I was surprised how much it improved the mid level gins, like Gordon's or Beefeater. As I recall his martini's were very basic: Martini glass with lime oil on the rim, Gordon's shaken with ice, no vermouth, a few jumbo Spanish queen olives.

I rarely drink hard alcohol anymore, but my preference for the few occasions when I do order it's a gibson made with Bummer & Lazarus gin and a bit of vermouth, but with the information from Mattie about how the vermouth goes bad, I might start skipping it.

I need you to pm me your addy. I have a small gift for you. Flavor from the Sip, we will call it.

Don't give me a hard time. Just send the pm. If I have to find you it will only make me angry. You know I can have your addy within 24 hours. So lets make this easy and pleasant. Send the pm.

No need to be mortified, bro. We both know you know the difference. I only pointed it out for comedic value... even if only you and I find it funny.

So Frank is a wise man. He sent me his addy.

Relax, they are gonna have to pry it from my cold....

Oh, and before I get an inbox full of pm's, the answer is NO!!!

out of my respect for Shawn, I have not consulted with the C-Bid Bus Driver Consulting Association. If MACS wanted me to have it, I would have had it by now.

But I gave mine to MattieB cuz of the guns and stuff.

This has me thinking. You know bribery and what not. I wonder what his addy ready is worth. This is an auction site isn't it???
