- real martinis have citrus twists.
lime is best.
orange will do.
a drink with an olive garnish is some other, inferior, drink -- not a martini. - this particular cocktail glass is called a "martini glass".
not just any drink in this shape of glass, though, is *a martini*.
martinis are made with gin.
drinks in martini glasses made with vodka are just that: drinks made from vodka, in a martini glass. - this is gin.
it is very delicious.
it is very delicate.
james bond was wrong -- do not "shake" your gin. always stir it.
note that it is cold enough to frost the glass.
that's because it is well-made.
the perfect martini

This is a great pic. I'd like to use it at my post Alcohol And Anxiety if that's okay with you. Thanks!
