Ok, so this is off topic Steve, but since you were a bartender;
How does one make the perfect dirty martini?
I love em, but don't know how to make them as well as i can get them at some of the finer establishments. I like Bombay sapphire, but i never get the mix right, or does it have something to do with how much ice and how long to shake?

I should admit that I don't drink other than an occasional beer or wine, but I have had people rave about my skills as mixologist, even though I have no clue how these things taste.
You're on the right track with a quality gin.
The Gospel of Steve:
Brethren, here are your Dirty Martini ingredients-
Bombay Sapphire
Olive juice (from olive jar containing the olives)
Mix 3 parts gin with 1 part olive juice. Shake well (as if you were smiting someone) with ice(no sacred quantity) for 3 seconds and strain into martini glass, throw in 2-3 olives.
You might want to experiment with 4 parts gin with 1 part olive juice to see if that's more to your liking.
That's all you need to do, no vermouth, btw.
There is such thing as a "Perfect Martini" which is made with a dash of dry and a dash of sweet vermouth.
The correct way to make a dry martini is to add
only
a drop of dry vermouth to the gin or vodka.
Peace be with you, and don't drink and drive.

LOL,
I only refered to the holy book when I was lost in the wilderness, and when Beth, my drink guru/godess, wasn't at my side. Never let the customer see you open a book!

Verily, thy scriptures were kept behind thine altar. Let not the unclean eye behold Trader Vic's lest it prove a curse unto thy tips.

But 'keep trying' usually helps. They taste better and better until you reach critical mass and the room starts spinning.
