Martini Stones


In his book Vintage Bar Ware: Identification & Value Guide, Stephen Visakay writes about the quest for the "ultimate" dry martini. Some of the gadgets invented include the Vermouth Atomizer which allows a small amount of vermouth to be sprayed on top of the drink. Another attempt was to soak olives in vermouth before adding them to the drink. Some martini aficionados felt the olives absorbed and transferred too much vermouth to the gin so the the "Martini Stone" was born. You soak the stone in vermouth, then drop it in the gin. The martini stones were made by Podam Co. Illinois ©1963.

Culinary Quote Of The Day

From James Beard...

The secret of good cooking is, first, having a love of it… If you’re
convinced that cooking is drudgery, you’re never going to be good
at it, and you might as well warm up something frozen.
