Gee, someone who puts even less vermouth in a marini than I do.I truly despise verouth.
I used to feel that as long as I was pouring the gin in the same room as the vermouth it was covered. Now as long as I'm pouring in the same county I'm doing good.

In the same country is good enough.

Martini's here also and James is right, the less vermouth the better. I make mine by filling my glass with ice put in the vermouth and let sit. Shake the vodka or gin in a boston shaker for about 30 sec. dump the ice and vermouth out of the glass and add vodka or gin. Add olives of your choice and you will have an ice cold excellent martini. If you want add orange bitters for a nice touch. Also thats why James is the king of FL, spicy olives really set it off.

That is a good idea to simply rinse the glass with vermouth. I certainly wouldn’t drink the vermouth straight.

Thatchers English Green Goblin Oak Aged Cider. Not bad, but I'll have a better understanding as to how good it is or is not after another one or two.

A homemade apple cinnamon whisky that my cousin makes. It's not bad. He has perfected his recipe over the years. He hands them out as Christmas presents each year in a mason jar.

A friend gave me a 750 ml bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue Label yesterday. The bottle is numbered. I cannot wait to dig in, but I am also a bit hesitant. It's in a custom case. I don't want to disturb it, but I will...

My grandmother used to do that every year with her Whiskey Bitters recipe. Tht as fairly popular. I still have a partial bottle that a friend raids once in awhile when he comes over.
It is about 15 years old now.
