I tried to quit once for 6 months, and it took me 2 years before,i was able to quit quitting. Quitting is for quitters
J/k- stopped in early 2000. Never got into mixed drinks- why waste valuable time mixing when you could be drinking lol j/k.
I used to live in Martinez California and never knew the martini was created there.
I like mine dry with 3 olives on the rocks. 😊
This must be all that white folks are allowed to do on Juneteenth. Bottoms up whitey!
What!? I thought this was Juneteenth! /s
My dad liked martinis and tended to have one or two every day around 6:00 p.m. just before dinner.
I never much cared for them but I liked eating an olive that had been in a martini. Whenever my dad was coming to visit, I always made sure I had plenty of gin, vermouth and a jar of olives on hand.
Did he like them shaken not stirred?
He did! I had a shaker and martini glasses in my liquor cabinet just for Dad’s visits.
I did use the shaker to make myself a straight up margarita with fresh-squeezed limes once in a while. 🍹
Mrs. BBB333 likes vodka martinis (Luksusowa - fine Polish potato vodka).
No vermouth but either capers or a cornichon.
Hopefully we can celebrate today around 1:30 PM when she returns from a an appointment with a client.
No more for me... hopefully.
I was contemplating a bloody Mary with some Luksusowa just now.
Might have to change my order.
So WASPs who have been told not to invite themselves to any Juneteenth celebrations can hereby honor their own heritage instead.
Before my liver went to hell (NOT alchohol related) My special drink was a gin martini with about 3 or 4 olives in it (my wife liked eating the olives, too).
Martini purist! Bombay Sapphire, vermouth, and olives. Once I made one, on a whim, w/3 parts gin, 1 part vermouth, and one part vodka. It was pretty good!
The vodka mellowed it out a little bit, but I couldn’t drink more than one.
Have one for me today!😀🍸
I used to put gin in my Bloody Marys instead of vodka!
No No No, it is Dadteenth, moronic groups already hijacked the month, they don't get to hijack Dadteenth just because their Daddy's are non-existant.
Bond, M & Moneypenny approve!
“...the only thing that makes drinking a martini better, is drinking it in the proper lounge setting...”
Ain’t that the truth! Life’s finest moments are in a dimly lit lounge with some great Brubeck, attractive company, a fine Macanudo and double Beefeater martinis! Unfortunately, politicians have pretty much killed off this most civilized of scenarios.
So today is Father’s Day, Junteenth, National Martini Day, and Ethel and Juluis Rosenberg Day. Wow. What to do? Suggestions?
I like mine Dirty, Dry, Top Shelf Vodka, Straight up, Extra Olives.
And be quick about it! LOL!
