sunday, bloody martini, sunday

So, my mister (and many of our friends) appreciates a good Bloody Mary. I hate tomato juice and felt little left out so I started experimenting with The Breakfast of Champions: the Martini in efforts to start getting used to the taste of bloody mary mix.

The Classic Gin Martini:

2 parts Gin

1 part vermouth

The Vodka Martini:

2 parts vodka

1 part vermouth

The Sunday Bloody Martini Sunday:

1 part* bakon vodka

1 part gin

1 part vermouth

1 part bloody mary mix (or 2 parts depending on how tomato-y you feel that day)

2 green pimento olives

1 pickled asparagus

Put all liquids into the cocktail shaker with about 4 or 5 ice cubes. Next, shake it about 7 times and pour everything** into a glass. Then, garnish with olives and asparagus. Finally, sip and enjoy!

* In my case, 1 part equals a little less than 1 oz

**I include the ice cubes because it's a little strong without the melt off from the ice.
