Right on!
Martini’s are gin and vermouth w/lemon twist or olives. Any other mix is a cocktail.
I hate having to order “gin” Martini’s because otherwise you may get a Bradford.
Too late ... I always do vanilla ice cream and Kahlua ...
Good point. I try to chill it down for only an hour or so, and then mix it with room-temperature vermouth, which seems to bring out the flavor nicely.
Amen to that. I do enjoy a Manhattan, too, if I make it (with rye, not bourbon and splitting the vermouth measure... half-French and half-Italian). Very nice.
Once in a while, I'll even make a Sazerac if I feel like digging out the bottle of absinthe.
No Lemon Drops or Pear Martinis for me... but I do appreciate the, uhh, utility of such beverages.
Three chocolate threads in 6 minutes...hmmmm....
Are you trading in a new Aztec currency?
In the column of well intentioned men doing incredibly horrible things when caught up in male exuberance.
My Chicago friend and I welcomed his Japanese fiance to So. Cal for their planned marriage and stopped for drinks after leaving the airport, we bought her, her first chocolate ice cream drink which was wonderful and that both of us were familiar with, unfortunately, in the excitement of the reunion we kept feeding them to her rather than keeping it at one and switching over to something less sweet and deadly. I still still feel bad about how sick she got that night.
How true! The drunkest I ever got was on Martinis. Of course, I had no idea they were pure booze at the time...and I’ve never had more than two at a sitting since that then, LOL!
I’d try that. I love coffee, too. :)
I’ll have to try that sometime, but I’m not too crazy about gin.
I do like a Vodka Gimlet in the summertime.
“Are you trading in a new Aztec currency?”
Well, the dollar ain’t worth sh!t these days, so why not? LOL! I’m open to anything right about now that will pad my portfolio! :)
When you, be very careful. They are so good you don’t taste the alcohol and you may find yourself drinking one too many :0)
