Red face For that very special Martini Drinker

Saw an add in the paper for this fine electronic Martini mixer/shaker.

I am not a Martini drinker but just how lazy does one have to be to need a electronic mixer??
Maybe a upgrade with a remote control and long straw?

Wouldn't a $100 of Gin or Vodka be appreciated more?

What's to mix?

Pour small amount of vermouth into glass, swish around and dump out. Fill glass with ice, add generous amount of Bombay Sapphire and 3 olives. Violins! One great martini!

wrong-O

take the martini glass
hold it close to your lips
whisper the word "vermouth" (being careful not to get too much in the glass)
proceed as above

Well...OK, I like it that way too. Just so long as you have the olives. That way you cover your nutritional needs as well.

Ah, my all time favorite drink! 2oz Bombay sapphire, 1/4 oz dry vermouth and a splash of sweet vermouth, shaken, pour into martini glass with 3 garlic stuffed olives, repeat as many times as necessary
