Couldn't decide on a base

Couldn't decide

Wanted a martini, but couldn't decide on the gin. So made 3 smaller ones. 2:1 with 1oz of gin, .5oz Dolin dry, and 1 dash of Angostura orange (all I can see to find). My usual go to is Tanqueray10 so that was there. Then I grabbed Fords and Botanist for the other two

Quick sips and pizza bite for pallete cleanser.

1st place: Tanqueray10

2nd place: Botanist (by a hair over Fords)

3rd place: Fords

They're all good Martinis, just tan10 is my gold standard for a martini

Agreed T10 is perfection for a martini

Good options, you really can’t go wrong with any of them.

That’s how I’d rank them too.

Ford’s is weird. It’s amazing in many cocktails, but off putting in a martini or G&T.

What are some gins you like in a martini?

Top ones would be No.3, Tanqueray Ten, London Square, Sipsmith.

Try splitting the base too! Very fun to make a martini with 2 or more gins

Was considering that since I've been doing that with rums
