Re: [Basic] Skill of the week: Connoisseur
That would definitely have been the ur-instance, then. Compendium I doesn't note the fact in its index of skills.

Wouldn't the Ur-instance be Connoisseur: Mesopotamian City States?

Since I told it to Otzi in the Alps. I wonder what ever happened to him.

I make mine with six parts of Gordon's or Tanqueray to one part of Martini & Rossi or Marko dry vermouth, shaken with plenty of ice and a generous slice of lemon zest until the condensation freezes onto the outside of the shaker, then strained into a chilled glass and garnished with three pimento-stuffed olives well wet with brine. Not a connoisseur's Martini perhaps, but I have my fans.

Re: [Basic] Skill of the week: Connoisseur
That is naturally, an important consideration.
I have a silver cocktail shaker with recipes stamped on it that my favourite aunt bought in New York in 1933 and gave me as a 21st-birthday present. The recipe that it gives for a dry Martini is "5/8 dry gin, 1/4 dry vermouth, 1/8 Italian vermouth, — Angostura bitters, ice". I have tried the recipe. It is not to my liking.
