The Best Gin for Martinis, According to Bartenders
Punch drink ^ | 10/29/2024 | PUNCH STAFF

Posted on 11/14/2024 3:58:04 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

If there’s one thing to be learned from the Martini renaissance, it’s that everyone is looking for something different when they order the classic cocktail. There are shot-size Martinis and Martinis made by the bottle (or porrón), extra-dry regional takes and fashionably wet variations. Bartenders’ preferred gins for the drink are equally varied.

Punch is excellent. I often visit after I’ve read everything on FR.

Here’s my latest homebrew cocktail in case it floats your boat:

1 oz Beefeaters Gin
1 oz St. Germain
1 oz Dolin Genepy
1 oz Zubrowka Bisongrass Vodka
3 dashes grapefruit bitters
Lemongrass infused simple syrup to taste

Combine ingredients in shaker over ice and stir until frosty and a bit diluted (45 seconds?)

Strain into a coupe
Garnish with a wedge of Meyer Lemon

Yum!

I’ve taken a liking to the Vesper Martini. I like Ford’s and Citadelle the most.

None. Gin is disgusting.

Drumshando for me. Drop of vermouth, drop of orange bitters, and a tweest of lemon peel.

Expect get rid of the beefeaters. Since they reduced the proof beefeaters is now considered a cheap gin.

“The proper union of gin and vermouth is a great and sudden glory; it is one of the happiest marriages on earth and one of the shortest-lived. The fragile tie of ecstasy is broken in a few minutes, and thereafter there can be no remarriage.”

You have been misinformed. There is no vodka in a Martini.

Bombay Sapphire or Tanqueray for me. All those on the list are hard to find so the bartenders probably prefer them for their higher price which means bigger tip.

I need to do a taste test through gins. I have through several other types of liquor.

What should I stack up to taste?

Yeah, I do that too. But only as a medicinal.

There was a man named Sweenie,
who spilt some gin on his weenie.
Not thought to be uncouth, he spilt some vermouth
And later slipped his wife a martini
