My Little Martini: Act II
Tonight, for my post-cinema pleasure, I am drinking a Gordon’s London Extra Dry Martini. Like the other night, the ratio is four parts gin to one part Noilly-Prat vermouth shaken for sixty seconds with three ice cubes made from filtered water. I paired it with a plate of homemade Shrimp Pad Thai. The basil in the sauce will perfectly offset the botanicals in the gin.
The Gordon’s has a stronger, more pronounced gin flavor than the Seagram’s. Whereas the Seagram’s Martini was like drinking dry, lightly-flavored water (I mean that in a good way), the Gordon’s Martini was light and fresh, plain and straightforward without being dull. It looks like the taste test is proving that gin shouldn’t be judged by the advertising or the price tag. Another winner.
Tomorrow night: Beefeater. And yes, Beefeater scares me.
