The classic is best...

I know that it is very trendy to have all different types of martinis now-a-days, but I am a believer of the classic gin or vodka martini. In fact, the distillery in Bend, OR agrees with me. I was pleasantly suprised the first time I went there and ordered my favorite Crater Lake Vodka martini. Normally I add the request, "super extra dry" since even a mist of vermoth is more that I like. However, the bartender replied, "We dont put any vermoth in, unless you ask for it." I was instantly hooked! Not to mention that they pour them big and strong. So, if you are ever in the Bend, OR area, I highly suggest you check out the Bend Distillery Martini lounge downtown.

And under no circumstances, ever, ever, flip off a policeman out the window of the martini lounge at the Bend Distillery :0

I will let Robble tell that one, since it is his thread and he was one of the instigators :)

Well now...
I am not sure this story is allowed to be told if it is not over a drink. So, let's get some martinis and I will entertain for a while. ;-)

A whole bar full of stunned people when the bar is lit up by a cops spotlight.
