The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

Like a reenactment of recent cabin trip.

A perfect martini should be made by filling a glass with gin then waving it in the general direction of Italy.

- Noel Coward

Two young German tourists walk into a swanky American bar in Brooklyn.

They sidle up to the bar and say, "May we have two Martinis, bitte?"

The bartender replied, "Dry?"

The Germans, incensed, shout back, "NEIN! ZWEI!!!!"

 

[el-remmen]

Martinis are gross.

A thousand years ago when I was a bartender, there was a guy who would come in and order his martinis "very very very very very VERY dry." He was an infamously bad tipper who would watch you like a hawk, and complain loudly if you so much as touched the bottle of vermouth while making his cocktail. So when it was eventually my turn to make his drink, I just served him pure gin in a martini glass. He told me that it was the best "martini" he had ever had, and tipped me $5.

I just thanked him and smiled. It's not a martini, it's not even a cocktail, but for $5 I'll let you call it anything you like.

I used to dislike gin, but I guess my hatred for others crossed a threshold some years back.

People who don't like Chicago stuffed style pizza, well, they're missing out like I used to on gin!

Honestly, I dropped hard liquor like 15 years ago and haven't looked back.

I like a cold beer or a nice glass of good champagne - and that's all the alcohol I drink.

Champagne is one thing I'll always pass on. Even the good stuff is not satisfying.

I like Port, because I like grape juice and booze.

At a family dinner with myself, my brother, and my mother (like last night) we usually go through two bottles of cheap-ish sparkling wine. Proper champagne is a luxury I rarely afford myself, but I do like the bubbly.

I used to be really into single malts, and I still have seven or eight different bottles at home, but I don't sip much of that anymore.

During the pandemic I got more into making mixed drinks at home, and for those I use a lot of gin and rye, mezcal, and occasionally dark (not spiced) or silver rums. Tequila every once in a while, and vodka almost never.
