A bit earlier than usual, perhaps, but my foot hurts, my vacation is nearly over, and I have a taste for one, dammit.

I like mine dirty, made with Stoli, and with three olives. I do use a couple of drops of dry vermouth, although with the Stoli it's hardly necessary.




on edit: there were only four olives left in the bottle. What would you do in that situation? I just made a double.

4. Have I ever told you my martini joke back from my bartending days?

5. I am not drinking martinis

which have a lethal affect on me. But I will join you with a glass of wine.

Here is my favorite Dorothy Parker riff on the martini:

"I like to have a martini
Two at the very most --
After three I'm under the table,
After four, I'm under my host."

-- Dorothy Parker

Cheers!
