No doubt Mountain Goat<\/a> beer is the brew of choice for any single speeder worth his salt, and why not, it’s the best beer on the planet (Hightail Ale thank-you, equal best to Gold Coast’s own Burleigh Brewing Pale Ale<\/a>) but surely the Single Speed drink of choice is the Martini.<\/p>\n

Quoth Barnaby Conrad III in “The Martini”: The Perfect Martini, as an idea, has infinite possibilities. For me the Dry Martini remains an America symbol of elusive perfection, a kind of pagan Holy Grail. The dedicated Martini drinker views this deceptively simple cocktail as a true, if fleeting, salvation, a chance to savor the best possible moments before war, bankruptcy, or time itself takes it all away.<\/p>\n

Here’s how to make the perfect Martini. 80% South Gin<\/a> (yes…world’s best) and 20% Cinzano Dry<\/a>. Be careful with them. How James Bond ever managed to be dapper after a shaken not stirred is anyone’s business. He shoulda been drunk as a skunk. <\/p>\n

If you like your martini truly dry try this recipe by Sir Winston Churchill.  He poured the gin and then glanced briefly at a bottle of vermouth across the room.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
My own recipe, the Martinus Natravalova. As above with a drop of Angostura <\/a>bitters. If you can spot the typo you haven’t made it strong enough.<\/p>\n

PS: Olive is superfluous. It’s mixing business with pleasure. Martini is business.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
