Martini Glasses

I just made myself a Vodka Martini and I am drinking it right now. What's the deal with these damned glasses? It's almost as though they were designed to help you spill your drink. Do martini glasses irritate anyone else here?

Definitely designed by a woman.

Re: Martini Glasses

I drink mine in rocks glasses, I think my last stem went kaboom a couple years ago. Not classy, but I guess it's harder to spill.

I am going to have to do that with my next one. I'm still drinking the same one and every time that I take a sip I think to myself.. WTF.

Never had a problem with a martini glass - even after four or five.

Re: Martini Glasses

It's probably because the glass is rejecting the vodka.
After all, there is no such thing as a Martini made with vodka.

A Martini is a drink made of gin, vermouth & an olive.
A drink made of gin, vermouth & an onion is a Gibson.
If just changing the garnish changes the drink's name,
one clearly cannot change the primary ingredient & keep the name.

You, sir, were drinking a Kangaroo. If you added vermouth, that is.

Just a little anal-retentive Public Service Announcement
from a snotty purist.

That's why I said Vodka Martini.

Us gin lovers are staunch in our belief that if you call it a martini, it must be gin. I bust Dustin's (LasciviousXXX) chops all the time because he drinks vodka and tries to call it a martini. One day he'll learn.

All in good fun.

Now I have to buy some good Gin. I think that I will use a rocks glass though.

No problem there. Prepare it in the shaker and just pour into a rocks glass.
Lots of nice gin out there. For starters, I recommend the Bombay Sapphire.

Here are a couple threads regarding gin preferences of knuckle draggers

Bombay Sapphire it is then. I can't remember that last time that I drank Gin.

If you acquire a taste for gin, I also recommend, in no particular order, Tanqueray 10, Hendricks, Hamptons, and No. 209.

Re: Martini Glasses

Ya shouldn't get so drunk. Learn to hold your liquor, then you wouldn't have a problem with your glasses.

There's some truth to that. A martini glass was designed with that in mind... I read it somewhere a few years ago. Champagne can also be served in a similar glass and it was an aristicratic joke to watch people spill their drink.

Re: Martini Glasses

I've found that it's actually easier to carry a martini after you have already had one. I guess I am more relaxed and not as worried about spilling it ...

However, after a martini (or two) a bigger problem is that I seem to knock over those tall long stemmed versions. This is what I use ... seems to help with both problems ...
