And if so, can it be a Chocolate Martini?
That might actually be good for a halloween party, perhaps.
So another malady of mine is the love of critters. Yep, critters! all manner of interesting creepy crawlies. So, last night after yoga class as I made my way into my out door hot tub with my dirty Boodles martini in hand
4.5 oz Boodles Gin
1 oz olive juice
a whisper of vermouth poured over ice and then dumped out
2 olives
I was much delighted to find a little frog sitting on the lip of the hot tub waiting for me. Here's the best pict my phone camera would take in the dark of the little guy. The shiny round thing on the left is my martini glass. :)
Yeah, I know you can't see anything. But I had to share anyway.
Buon Aperetif!
This weekend on a get away trip as I wandered into a quaint downtown shop with all manner of tsotchke I was unable to resist purchasing christmas martini glasses. Don't worry the Tannenbaum Martini will be born!
No I don't mean a shirt or being smacked by a Parisian. Though having one with one while wearing one would be sublime.
1.5 oz Creme de Violette
3-4 oz Dry Champagne
Enchante!
Until just recently, Tanqueray has been my favorite gin for martinis. However, I have discovered the greatness that is Bombay Sapphire. It is just that much smoother.
What do you prefer for your gin martini?
Once again, we made the trek out to Bend, OR for some skiing and martinis. I had forgotten the greatness that is the Hazelnut Espresso Vodka martini. Quite simple, just a chill and serve up. It is the best! This vodka liqour is made with real espresso, so it has caffine. What could be better?
I first saw this in an issue of Powder magazine. They actually serve it as an apre-ski drink, somewhere in the east!
the PBR ‘tini is a chilled martini glass, the rim coated with Old Bay Seasoning and garnished with an olive and a chicken wing, delivered with a champagne bucket holding a good ‘ole Pabst Blue Ribbon 16-ounce beer.
The recipes are given here, but for those who long to see such a thing, here's a picture (the Spam version). Kids try this on somebody else...
3 parts vodka
2 parts Nephew & Wray coconut rum
Splash of coconut milk
Garnish with a pineapple slice
