Ah, the Bombay Sapphire dry DUtini!
Named last weekend in honor of DU, where I learned how to make good martinis and appreciate gin.

2 oz. Bombay Sapphire gin


1 oz Wild Spirit liquer


1/2 oz dry vermouth


Sahken, not stirred. Garnish with cocktail onions.

Very good martini. Has a different edge to it than the straight gin martini, but still similar enough in character to be recognizeable as a cousin (unlike drinks like lemon drops, etc.)

It's Friday night everybody! Anyone else relaxing with a drink?
