Bitter and twisted

How do you like your martini's? 

[icyfroth]

I've never had a martini in my life.

I'm more of a champagne person.

I like olives but prefer the kalamari ones to those big fat green ones.

If we're talking about the drink, no can't stand martinis (that's minus the apostrophe as it's not a possessive noun in this case). 

In the song "drink your martinis dry"  I don't know of any other way to drink them - dry as  blotting paper.  No thanks. Gin and tonic I like, but not with vermouth ugghhh.

my ex sil, and ex mil, and now that I think of it, the evil stepmother, all drank gin, and would bawl for hours for no other reason than they were drinking gin

[pct001wine]

Tanqueray No. 10, 60ml

Noilly Prat Original Dry, 10ml

Shake with a couple of blocks of ice made from the crystal-clear water from a Tasmanian high-country creek 

Pour into a martini glass with a 25mm x 5mm piece of lemon rind (no pith), twisted in a clockwise direction to extract the essence of the lemon

Drink through a sterling silver straw

Gin is good for cleaning mirrors.  

It's then that I cry, upon reflection.

That's where I went wrong.    Hic.

No way

Martinis are the best. But I must say that few people make them really well.

Best I ever had were at The Gin Palace in Melbourne. Bob - is that one of your 'go to' places?
