Martini Potency

[Ships R Great]

Can anyone rank martinis by their strength, i.e. weakest to strongest?

Don't know - but I do know that two Crantini's on the Infinity a few months back had me doing my "white trash in formal wear" routine.

I have a printout of some of the Martini recipes and most call for 3 oz of gin/vodka or whatever the major liquor is, plus 1 oz of the "other" liquor, which equals 4 oz. of booze!

 

Such as the "Century Martini" calls for

3 oz. Absolut Vodka,

1 oz Blue Curacao and a dash of lemon juice.

 

Now the Apple Martini calls for different amounts, but it equals 4 oz. liquor.

1.5 oz Van Gough Wild Apple,

1.5 oz Apple Pucker Schnapps

1 oz Cointreau

 

You'll have to look at the Martini menu, which gives you the kinds of liquor used in each drink and decide which ones have the highest "proof" to determine which ones are the most potent!

Hey Brenda

 

The menu doesn't list a "Crantini" but it does have:

Cosmopolitan

3 oz Absolut Vodka

1 oz Cointreau

dash of cranberry juice

 

That would do it!

 

One Martini is enough--then you add wine with dinner! A good time in the making

Char - Are those the Celebrity martini recipes?

 

Love to get those! We "discovered" martini's on our Summit cruise last March.

I have the contents, although not the proportions of the dirnks at the Martini bar on Celebrity at my website www.celebrity-century.com.

Hope this helps at least a little!

 

(If you want to drink more alchohol, why not just get two martinis?)

Yes, they are from the Martini menu. I got your email and sent you what I have in 2 attachments. You can pretty much play around with the amounts to get the taste you want. Be sure to shake, shake, shake

What about less potent martinis? Are there any?

Good grief....a less potent martini....burn them at the stack!!! By definition...at least my definition ....martinis are straight booze. Why screw up perfectly good gin or vodka with something else. Now, a coral lemon drop....well, that's a drink of a whole different kind. Wife is making them based on a recipe given to her by Michael in the Crow's Nest. Wow!! A couple of those the way she fixes them and to heck with a cruise.

 

Until Galaxy

I usually order the Chocolate Cream Martini. I think it is weak compared to some others.

[BrendaJ]

Char - you're right, it was called a Cosmopolitan. Funny though - I ordered what they called a Cosmopolitan in Jamaica once and it was horrendous. On the Infinity, a whole different ballgame - delicious! As for those Chocolate Creme martini's - to die for! That is the one with the chocolate sauce swirled around to decorate the glass, right?

 

 

Gosh - it's 10:00 a.m. and I could go for one right now!
