Juneteenth
Juneteenth celebrates the end of slavery in the US. Lots of historical event surround this day. Check it out sometime, especially if you are a history buff.
It's also National Martini Day - what is your preference? Shaken not stirred? Dirty? Other?

Interesting, haven't heard of Juneteenth before.
Regarding Martinis - ketel one, no vermouth, one stuffed olive, shaken and served ice cold.
I saw the Juneteenth celebration in the Athens Banner Herald this past weekend and was curious about it. Thanks @donm for the info.
I've never had a martini, which is saying something as I used to be a conoisseur of all things alcohol for many years, including ****. I never liked Gin though.
So @GeoffDawg does the single olive add any flavor or do you just like chilled, slightly diluted ****? in a martini glass? If so, I completely understand, I'm all about the little things, just curious.
@scooterdawg it adds a bit of olive flavor to the **** but not a lot. The benefit is that a chilled and blue cheese stuffed olive that's been soaking in a martini glass is simply delicious.
Edit: v o d k a is a banned word apparently.
From my serving days way back when, I can't remember one v o d k a martini drinker that wanted vermouth -- orderred extra dry or just waived over the glass.
For the occasional gin martini, then a little dry vermouth is in order. I guess it has something to do with the fact that gin has a stronger flavor.
As for my preference, pretty basic. Tito's by the shot. With a cold beer on the side.
Ultimate Martini Recipe:
One part Grey Goose ****
One part Bombay Sapphire Gin
Whiff of Dry Vermouth
Shaken in ice, served with one large garlic stuffed green olive
my martini recipe has never failed me
step one: throw the martini in the trash
step two: pour a bourbon
step three: enjoy
It is non-traditional but it works lol
@GeoffDawg Oh, the evil v o d k a. Must be banned.
