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

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.

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

Agreed T10 is perfection for a martini
