Vampire Proof Martini

I would never make this one.

For starters, it sounds too stiff and "old school" for me.

Second, I prefer sweet and falvourful martini's

and lastly, I would NEVER want to be vampire Proof - in fact, I prefer to be surrounded by sexy vampires longing after me - wait - what?

On to this recipie....

  • 4 parts Gin

  • 1 part dry vermouth


  • Mix with ice in shaker. Strain into Chilled Glass. Garnish with a garlic stuffed olive.
