You know, fuck appletinis. It is really all about dirty martinis. It is a delightful drink. Salty, full of alcohol, and you get that little bit of food at the end.
Recently I had a blue-cheese martini which had blue-cheese stuffed olives. Absolutely wonderful.
Tonight I'm two dirty olive vodka martinis down, 4 parts vodka, 1 park olive juice (love you) and 1 part dry vermouth. Mix in the shaker with ice and throw into a martini glass with a bit of the olive juice and 3 olives.
Just felt like sharing.
I'm putting this in the cooking channel because it is all about the taste.

however, once at a super hip sushi bar downtown they had a list of signature martinis. i had to order one called "donkey punch" just because i really really needed to tell the waiter that i needed him to give me a donkeypunch.
it tasted like blue cottoncandy. blech.
i dont usually go for martinis

That's my point... a martini shouldn't taste like candy it should taste dirty... like an olive.

I prefer the term "earthy" over "dirty"
on a related note, I drink cosmopolitans and watch "Sex in the City"
Now thaswutImtalkinbout.
So what do we have to do to get an alcohol channel?
Already have a drugs channel- which covers it if we're honest with ourselves. Lately I've lost my Guinness urge and have been drinking sauvignon blanc from a plastic bag! - but it's really quite tasty.
Gwiz, you live up to your icon yet again...
Dag, alas you are fundamentally right, but it is a pity that alcohol can't have it's own channel...
bwwahahahahahaahaha

Had a cucumber martini that was brilliant. It was just a big glass of cucumber-infused gin. I think they might have rinsed the glass in vermouth, but it was barely there.

Oh, I never knew you were gay.
Wow... I only vaguely remember posting this last night...
If you were still wearing your own underwear, you have nothing to fear.

Now you've done it. You've maligned my sexuality. My official drink is now Yukon Jack. So non-homo, it hurts. From the Wikipedia article:
"honey based Canadian whiskey advertised as the "Black sheep of Canadian Liqueur". It is a 100 proof (in USA) or 80 (in Canada) proof drink, known for its "macho image" (see: [1]). Yukon Jack also makes Perma Frost schnapps. On the back of the bottle there is a quote, “Yukon Jack is a taste born of hoary nights, when lonely men struggled to keep their fires lit and cabins warm, boldly flavorful yet surprisingly smooth, there is no spirit like Yukon Jack.”
A whaa? I bet you had cucumbers all sorts of places that was brilliant...
Your mum would agree.
