4. About to have a drink as well

The bastard child of lemonade and a sample-sized bottle of Ketel One :)

5. There are those

who would say a vodka martini isn't a martini at all.

I'm not one of them. Ketel One, just wave the vermouth bottle near the glass.

9. I hear ya...

all you need is a good bottle of vodka, chilled and a shaker. Gin drinkers are a different breed...

[MissMarple]

11. Indeed! there is a recipe for Martinis.

I barely concede the substitution of vodka. Everything else is a cocktail. :-)

[democracyindanger]

12. Aha! Well, if it's good enough for James Bond

it's good enough for me.

[MissMarple]

14. We have a martini bar that has a "007".

It has vodka and gin. Unremarkable IMHO. Gin (Tangeray) smells like Christmas. Vodka...well...hmmm??? :-)

[Reverend_Smitty]

15. Smells like Christmas???

what were the holidays like at your house...lol. I've never heard Gin described that way before

[MissMarple]

17. Juniper berries.

LOL

[democracyindanger]

18. 1. Avoid any place that calls itself a 'martini bar'

2. Vodka...smells like an icy Siberian landscape, and you're huddled behind the hulk of a rusty Soviet tractor clutching your Walther PPK, your white dinner jacket amazingly uncreased, as you wait for M to arrive with the special equipment you'll need to infiltrate the SPECTRE base hidden just beyond the treeline...;)

[MissMarple]

19. Ah..the smell of danger, cold, and hopefully of sucess and then, escape.

It all makes sense now. No ermm...potatoes?

[democracyindanger]

20. No potatoes, but

you follow the James Bond example of sprinkling pepper into the vodka. This helps absorb the diesel fuel often found in Soviet vodka by dragging it to the bottom of the glass.

You are worthy of your literary name. :)

[MissMarple]

21. You are very kind.

:-) And, on edit, I seem to have misspelled "success". Oh, well, I've only been average at spelling.

7. Moderation is Life

All things in moderation.

All things.

Cheers!

[MissMarple]

13. LOL., even moderation.
