W. C. Fields recipe for a perfect Martini: 3 parts Gin and a quick glance at the Vermouth bottle. With Bombay Sapphire it is a really good recipe, lol.

The only way to make this better is to use Noilly Pratt vermouth. Nothing else compares. Many of the other vermouths will detract and distract from the Bombay Sapphire. The Noilly makes it perfect!

It's bothering me because this isn't the first time I've seen this - there is no such thing as Bombay Blue Sapphire - it is just Bombay Sapphire. With that said, I love this martini!

LOVE this martini, this is my favorite way to drink martinis. Sometimes DH will use jalapeno stuffed Olives and that gives it that extra zing. Blue Sapphire is the ONLY way to go.

Yum! I went out and bought vermouth just for this. I did not use olives or capers but instead added a lemon twist. Very delicious! Perhaps this will be my new signature drink, especially because we just got a set of martini glasses for our wedding.
