  If you were to offer a woman one of them frilly l`il gems as described above around here you would get laughed out of the county. Women around here prefer an actual drink like Cuervo straight up, 151 Bacardi and Coke, Jack shooters or Jack and C, something in that line.
  They also prefer men that have other skills, if you get my drift, rather than devoting their time to making doilies.

My cousin was a bartender in Lubbock while attending Tech. He claims to have invented the "Passover" martini.

He put chilled gin or vodka in a glass with olive, then took the vermouth bottle and tipped it about 45 degrees, banged it on the bar and the vermouth would "pass over" the glass.

Done.

Churchill is rumoured to have claimed that a martini is made by nodding toward France as you stir the gin with ice.

I guess I'm a purist: a martini consists of *good* gin, *stirred* with cubed ice and a dribble of dry vermouth, strained into a chilled glass with an olive.

Anything else is, well, not a martini.

Dune's cocktails of choice:

Mixed:
Bloody Mary - Good vodka, Clamato, horseraddish, salt, pepper, tobasco and garlic salt.

I bartend in a high volume bar occasionally so I thought I'd share our rather popular high altitude Bloody Mary recipe:

16 oz chilled Glass
Good Vodka
Tomato Juice
Minced horseradish ('bout 1/4 tsp)
Celery Salt
Garlic Powder
A-1 Steak Sauce (liberal dash)
Worchestershire (couple of good shakes)
Tobasco (couple of good shakes)
Black fresh ground pepper
Invert into another glass and repour to mix.

Piece of celery for stirring. Will cure what ails ya.

As for martini's, I agree with Samiam 'cept we shake 'em.

 Sounds good to me, but I`m worried about how well he developed his "social skills"  as discussed above. lmao
  I think maybe rpm should write a book entitled "101 Tips To Develop Social Skills And Drink Mixing To Pick Up Chicks For the Insecure".

chocolate martini


equal amounts of stoli vanilla vodka, and godiva chocolate liquour.  Rim the glass with some of the godiva and dip it in some shaved white chocolate for a chocoate rimmed glass.
