How do you like your martini?

Wildly off topic....maybe.

I've come to like a vodka martini over a gin martini. Tito's, but Goose is good too. I also insist upon large queen olives freshly stuffed with white bleu cheese (no mold please), three of them, and dirty. Shaken vigorously and served in a chilled classic martini glass.

If you substitute one of the olives with a fresh anchovy stuffed olive....well, thats just high living......


Beware; some restaurants try to pass off bleu cheese olives that have been stored in brine..(store bought)...they suck and will ruin an otherwise good martini.

Costco vodka in a tall tumbler over ice, with lots of orange juice and a splash of cherry juice.

No olive. Unless there's a veggie tray, then I'll have one green and three blacks, in that order.

Yeah it is killing me.

like the guy who asked his doctor - "If I don't drink and don't chase women will I live to be one hundred?"

I'm not sure but it will most likely seem like it.

I like mine made with Weller 107 proof KSBW, hold the vermouth and olives on the side.

I don't drink spirits.

That said, has there ever been anyone who 'stirred' a martini?

Yes, the child nephew in the movie "Auntie Mame" did it when his banker uncle came by unexpectedly one morning for for "inspection".

Auntie Mame was up in bed "hung"......

I only drink beer and wine for the last 30 years. Anything stronger has too much potential for disaster.

The comeback of hard alcohols is not a good thing.
OK, OK, an after dinner cognac on occasion.
