Book Review: Permanent Record

This weeks book of the week is Permanent Record by Edward Snowden. This book should be required reading in high school, and there are multiple college level courses that should examine it as well. Highly recommend everyone read this one.  

The cocktail was a spy classic Martini....shaken not stirred, which is the wrong way to mix a martini, but that's how Bond always ordered it, so here it is:

Cracked ice
2½ ounces London dry gin, such as Beefeater
½ ounce dry vermouth, such as Noilly Prat
Optional dash of bitters
Green olive for garnish

Place all in shaker with ice. Should be stirred, but of course I shook mine. Serve with green olive. It was gross. I dislike the classic gin martini.
