War is a series of calamities that result in victory.

A very good case can be made that had Antwerp become available in September, the war would have ended by Christmas, 1944.

My favorite cocktail:

https://www.mixology.recipes/cocktails/dry-martini-mongomery-s-15-1-ratio

Dry Martini (Mongomery’s 15:1 ratio)
Stir in mixing glass with ice and strain
2 oz London dry gin (6 cl)
1/8 oz dry vermouth (0.4 cl)
1 dash orange bitters
Serve in a well chilled cocktail glass (4.5 oz)
Notes: The favorite Martini of Ernest Hemingway. Named after Field Marshal Bernard Law Montgomery (1887-1976) who is said to have prefered having 15:1 advantage for his attacks.
