James Bond Martinis
I have been making these martinis for maybe 2 years now and I have a small following. Anyone who has tried my martinis usually comes back for more. I started with a basic recipe but over the course of drinking them I have tailored them to what my family likes. You may want to make them a bit dryer and that is ok, just add one more measure of gin. I like them extra dry but that is just my preference, more gin less vodka.
If you want to be Daniel Craig Authentic you will need Gordon's Gin but on the spur of the moment gin will work. I use 2 measures gin, 3 measures vodka and 3 measures Kina Lillet. The only place I have found the Kina Lillet so far is Bevmo. The one in San Bruno is a good one. Joe Silva's daughter works there and she will help you make the right selection. She is a very helpful nice lady.
Ok, fill your shaker with ice.
Add 2 measures of gin, 3 of the Grey Goose Vodka and 3 measures of the Kina Lillet. Then close the shaker and make sure you sake it. He likes it "Shaken not stirred" remember!
Ok, you're almost there. Now get 2 martini glasses and spear 2 martini olives with toothpicks. These olives can be purchased at Bevmo also. They are pitted green olives marinated in light vermouth. These olives are a must and really finish off the martini with a fine silky touch. Pour the martini into the glass and wella! "The James Bond Martini".
Enjoy and Happy New year!!
