The Marriott serves good martinis but the Marriott is kinda expensive. Regular bars don't know what they're doing (I'm too impatient to teach). Some "international" restaurants don't either. Anybody know a good venue that definitely can make a good straight up dry martini, reasonably priced?

how much do the marriot charge?

there is a bar on soi 8 that you can buy bottles, maybe you can make your own ???

As almost everyone has a different dry-martini taste, you just have to find the bar that suits you and pay the freight.

Could this become another piss-up thread? Groups meeting in different bars each week to test the quality of the dry martini?

Later a Scotch-sampling, then a draught beer sampling?

There's a lifetimes work ahead of us .....

Getting the Thaïs in Pattaya bars to make a Martini, is just asking for disappointment

on the 10th try they could be getting near it.

2 oz gin

1 tbsp dry vermouth

2 tbsp olive juice

2 olives

Olive juice? What is that? I know olive oil, but wouldn't use it.

What about a chilled glass, or cocktail onions, other alternatives.

Suggestions awaited.

Just did a quick Google for Olive Juice
