I like a martini

two at the most etc.

Where does really good strong Dukes style martinis near the BM?

Octoman - slosh around the vermouth, wave it in the vague direction of Italy and then chuck it out. Vodka or gin has to be icy cold and the glass freezing.  3 olives for me

I've just done a reasonable approximation made with ingredients found lying round the house. 

Frozen glass, gin, noilly prat discarded, couple of olives.

How much are they charging for these at the Dukes Hotel. I reckon I've made £50 at least. 

Thrift.
