+phenoix they hide it well, I want to make a video to show people how to do it eventually though. Suffice to say, go to the channel homepage and click the magnifying glass, it will expand out a box for you to type searches into

+Common Man Cocktails ok thank you, I was unaware of this feature on YouTube

channel search is your friend. I've got 1300+ recipes, use the channel search for keywords like: rumple minzeJust make sure you spell it right, it will return all recipes we used rumple minze in or use peppermint schnapps and sub in rumple minze when needed.

depends on your taste more than mine. I like more floral gins like Greenhook Ginsmiths and G'Vine Florason.

+MikePopowski I am not sure what you consider a fancy drink. The book I fall to when all else fails is "The Craft of the Cocktail" by Dale Degroff. It has a ton of recipes, true, but it has all the basics from what I can tell.

+liesofthepast you mean the way they distill?

+SEPTICSHADOW yeah, that's sounds bad and dumb at the same time :)

+An Idiots Liquor you got it! Keeping it real 24x7 :)

+Robert Glasner yep, our channel search (on the channel's homepage) will turn up 2100+ cocktails :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2dLqkvxyb4

+Ted Jumble Nolly prat blows, use Vya :)

+Common Man Cocktails I think he said it wrong, too. The oldest recipes for the Martini going back to 19th century and what not had sweet vermouth... what they called a "dry" martini then substituted dry vermouth for sweet vermouth. Even when that became the default prior to Prohibition, most bars were still doing something like a 2:1 or 3:1 ratio of gin to vermouth. It was the post-Prohibition era that started to progressively remove the vermouth.First time I saw the trick of the ice rinse was in a sci-fi flick titled Colossus:The Forbin Project in which a supercomputer became sentient by merging its programming with an equivalent Soviet computer and gained control of the world's nuclear arsenal to blackmail humankind... and naturally, this super-intelligent undefeatable computer saw fit to critique his creator's bartending skills and point out the overuse of vermouth in a martini.On a separate note... what was the point of the double straining here? I understand it for drinks that have fruit juices and you want to avoid bits of pulp and what not, but there's nothing like that going on here, AFAIK.

+Thomas Brown yes, that's true.

so if dry means sweet, than a sweet italian vermouth is a dry vermouth? :)In correction, to make a dry martini less dry, you should use more dry vermouth as opposed to less (as the gin is dry). That was mis-stated in this video.

so is this comment

all subjective, if you like a clean london dry for martini's and such, yeah. If you're using it for long island iced tea...no :)

a vermouth ice rinse, yes.
