I believed they might have used Stolichnaya vodka. Darise paraphrased me a bit - I said 'I don't usually like martinis, but I can tell this one is very well made. It's the best one I've ever had, that's for sure'. <br /><br />But I still prefered the Carte Blanche, which is a twist on the original cocktail; the Old-Fashioned. It uses Crown Royal whiskey/bourbon, along with triple sec, two dashes of bitters, ice, and a twist of fresh orange peel. Tastes better than it sounds...Craig Sistersonhttp://www.kiwicrime.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1591679994751212734.post-90129194834316175142011-06-03T14:00:47.198+12:002011-06-03T14:00:47.198+12:00Craig, thank you (and Ekta and Lesley and Darise)f...Craig, thank you (and Ekta and Lesley and Darise)for your important sacrifice to research. <br /><br />I don't know the Carte Blanche cocktail. What's in it? What kind of whiskey did 1885 use?<br /><br />Also, Darise's piece didn't satisfy my curiosity about the 1885 Martini. Bond, I believe, usually drank his with Vodka. But I'm guessing that if the one you had is as good as Darise made it sound, 1885 makes theirs with Gin. Do you know what kind?<br /><br />(All in the name of research, of course).Steve Steinbockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12760730166698947054noreply@blogger.com
