Bombay Blue Sapphire Martini- Sunday Mart Marts
"The secret to a suburb martini is to take the gin right out of the freezer, have the glasses iced, and have a jumbo olive stuffed with what you like, I like a jalapeno stuffed olive or try a lemon stuffed olive MMm or a large English pickled onion (I think that makes it a Gibson). Sacrilege I put in 2 ice cubes just so it isn't too decadent."

My all-time favorite gin is Bombay Saphire and <i>this</i> is my favorite martini recipe! :) Thanks, Bergy, for posting a classic cocktail recipe that transports me to a posh and elegant place beyond the hoi polloi! -

I made this up on Friday Morning, planning to have them that night, but plans changed. Saturday night, driving home from Little Rock in the Rita aftermath, wondering if we had a home to go back to (tornado) this wonderful Martini was just what the Doctor ordered. Absolutely wonderful. I followed the directions except I gave it a good shake before serving. Thanks -
I didn`t make this recipe but do have it often. I prefer mine very well shaken. It`s 8:27 in the morning and you have me wanting one. :)LOL! -
My husband and I enjoyed this wonderful martini at happy hour this afternoon. I followed your instructions exactly using a beautiful crystal cruet. James Bond, eat your heart out. Thanks for sharing, Bergy, what a wonderful martini.

Small town in the Okanagan, B.C.
On January 10 2010 I will celebrate 9 years of Life with Zaar. I can't imagine being without it! It has become part of my daily routine.
I feel very privileged to be one of the hosts on the Photo Forum. Taking photos of my culinary efforts is a full time hobby and I love it. My friends all know what to expect when they come to dinner "Are you finished taking pictures?" or "Did you get a photo of so & so?" I never let them wait too long and the food is NEVER cold! I now have over 6000 photos on Zaar - some fairly good and some definitely not so good. I am happy to say that practice does help.
My roots are in Vancouver BC Canada - a very beautiful city that holds many wonderful memories for me. In 1990, I decided that for my retirement years I may want to settle in a smaller community and found a slice of heaven in the North Okanagan B.C. I love living here but every once in a while I miss the bright city lights, the Broadway shows and some of the small wonderful ethnic restaurants that Vancouver abounds in. That is easily resolved. I just take a trip to the coast, visit with friends for a weekend see a show and feast on Dim Sum or other specialty foods.
I am getting a bit long in the tooth but was a very adventurous person. I have river rafted Hell's Gate on the Fraser river, been up in a glider over Hawaii (no not a Hang Glider!), gone hot air ballooning in the Napa Valley & the Fraser Valley, driven dune buggies on the dunes in Oregon, Para sailing in Mexico and tried many other adventurous, challenging, fun things. I have yet to try bungee jumping or sky diving. I may do them yet. I love to travel and experience other cultures. Mexco has been a favorite haunt. I have visited that lovely country many many times. Australia is another favorite as is England!
In the past 16 months I have taken off 61 pounds and feel wonderful. I am off all medications and all systems are GO! In years I may be 79 but in spirit I am still in my forties. We are only as old as we allow ourselves to feel. Always think positive. Do something a bit challenging every day & always do something silly every day. Be a kid again! Laugh every day - it is internal jogging.
Here are a few of my photos
