martini with punch, Member hlf45

I think the idea is ok. However I did not like it as much as the the good old Dry martini. shaken not stired with Bombay and vermouth swirled around in the glass then emptied , the gin should be chilled with a film of ice across the top. and garnish with an olive. This is a great martini and wil always be enjoyed by the person that truly loves a good martini. The Crown martini is also a good martini as is the amaretto martini.
