Hello all, I need the ingredients for one of Hawkeye's martinis. I'm mixing
up a batch right now for the big party and it has to be just perfect. How
dry is dry ? All lurkers invited for your opinions...gas up your Jeep Amy !

Wasn't it something like - drinking Gin, while staring at a picture of the
inventor of Vermouth?

Or..."5 to 1......Five parts gin, and one moment of silence for the vermouth!!"

no, no, wait.... I remember this:

Hawkeye: "...and the filter is shredded skivies<sp>"

Frank: "alchie(alkie?), you'd tear up your underwear for a drink."

Hawkeye: "No I wouldn't, they're yours."

Based on what they had in swamp it was rice alcohol. No juniper just grains.

If you want the perfect martini take a tumbler and fill it with ice. pour the vermouth over the ice and then pour it back out. Then ad your gin to the vermouth covered ice. Recipe comes from the Colossus:The Forbin Project.
