Dirty Martini or Bourbon Neat (1 Viewer)

[detroitdad]

Today was a long grueling day. My feet and back are killing. I'm public safety for Michigan Medicine and we've all been pulled out of our cushy gigs to man check points. Were screening 100% of the people entering the medical facility.

So, Dirty Martini or Bourbon Neat.

Martini (still a rookie at making these)

Frozen glass in from the freezer
I cap full of Dry vermouth in the glass

2 shots of Tito's vodka, crushed black pepper, and 4 large ice cubes in a travel mug. Shake it up, strain it into the glass

add 4 green olives

Bourbon will be neat, and whatever I have on hand. Makers Mark, Wild Turkey 101, four roses, and something else, can't remember what it is.

You'll have anywhere from 30 minutes to a couple of hours to vote.

This isn’t even close if you are looking at it as a pain killer. Bourbon all the way.

Bourbon +1

Not looking for that. Just looking to have a drink or three lol.

I do have a smidge of the Antique Wellers 107 left. It'll be awesome to drink, but sad to finish it off.

Martinis are a little more "refreshing". Hence why I was leaning that way

I've only got a bottle of Glenlivit 18. I don't love it. I need to add a bottle of Laguviln 16. So damn expensive!

I don't see it as being in your wheel house.

I've been saving an entire bottle of that.... Can't wait to crack it open.... But not yet....

Why can’t we have both?

Don't get me wrong. You'll definitely like it. I don't think you'll like it as much as "I" like it lol.

With all due respect, there is only ever one correct answer to this question.

 

[detroitdad]

Bourbon is easily winning. Here's to you guys.

Technically, a dirty martini has olive juice added

A capful of vermouth is closer to a classic martini, but the classic uses gin instead of vodka.

I voted both, but prefer the martini almost every time.

I do put a touch of olive juice in it. I forgot to add that. Probably a cap fulls worth.

Changed to Bourbon.

 

[DoubleEagle]

Start with a martini, then have a bourbon.

 

[Coyote]

Have one bourbon as an appetizer, have some wine with food (dinner), and then have three-smth bourbons as digestives.
A beautiful time, and a guarantee you just can't work (or even play) on the next day, if over 50.

 

[Forest@Farmington]

Bourbon all the way. Glad you are having one I will be in about 45 min.

Maker's Mark!

Thought it was a poll, voted "both".

Read OP, changed my vote to "Martini"

As I type this, I toast you with bourbon! Blanton's FTW!
