They seem so good in the movies, but actually taste mostly just like straight vodka, which most people aren’t going to enjoy.

    Yeah they’re vodka martinis. They ARE terrible lol. Gin is much better, more interesting with the botanicals. I usually do Beefeater gin if they have it

      Bonds Wodka Martini does have 3/4 of gin and only 1/4 of wodka:

      The International Bartenders Association (IBA) recipe calls for 45 ml gin, 15 ml vodka, and 7.5 ml Lillet Blanc in place of Kina Lillet

        God that sounds disgusting. I think, for the first time in 4+ years of sobriety, I actually feel genuinely sad for not being able to try that one out. It sounds so awful it must be good.

          Hey, stay strong brother. That one drink isn’t worth giving up your progress. I don’t know you, but I’m proud for you.

        Martinis do not involve tequila. That would be a different drink. When you change the single largest ingredient by volume you have a new drink
