Stir (do not shake) with big block of ice until very cold. Garnish with lemon peel. Drink before it warms up.

What a god awful unit of measurement

Now now. Dont be mean to the deciliter. It just wants to be like its big brother the liter.

As soon as it meets up with 9 of it's friends, I think it might have what it takes.

Vodka brings nothing to a martini, fight me.

I also like to stir for 25 seconds, leave for a minute or two, and then strain into a chilled glass. No ice in the actual drink.

2 olives and lemon peel garnish.

a classic Martini

I like a milder taste. The vodka softens the gin without watering the drink down.

Oh.. because of course "Fluid Ounce (Imperial)" is different from "Fluid Ounce (US)".

DOESN'T THE US USE THE IMPERIAL SYSTEM

I do not understand any single thing

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

The US uses US customary units. Actual Imperial units are sometimes used informally around the UK and Commonwealth nations.
