I’m not “grappling” at all. I’m about to mix a martini. Well, actually a “Montgomery.”

Montgomery Martini

This cocktail is named after the famous WWII British general, Bernard Montgomery, who refused to attack the Germans unless he was assured victory by outnumbering his opponent at least 15 to 1. That same ratio is used for the gin and dry vermouth in this mixed drink.

Montgomery Martini

15:1 Scotch, water

Well actually, I put an ice cube in for 15 seconds, then pull it out.
