Vodka Be Damned
It’s Friday, and time to close up shop and take more pragmatic steps in the interest of cultural preservation. Nothing gets a good debate going like the subject of martinis. Today I link to a cogent article that speaks volumes in three words: Vodka be damned.”
There has, over the years, been a perverse crusade to kill the Martini. Egged on by vodka factory owners and aided and abetted by know-it-all bartenders, gin has been tossed aside, vermouth has been given leper status, and all the science and ceremony of mixing the perfect Martini has been abandoned.
I’m not saying I agree with the recipe, but I like the writer’s bluntness.
