RE: APOSTATE!!!!

All martinis should be done with GIN.

In this case, I'd prefer a citron flavored version.

Get better, bro. We NEED you.

P.S. I just wish I could remember the answer in the morning.....

P.P.S. It looks delicious!

Is there a place on this site with all the various recipes?

I like the repeat until naked part. But, that pretty much requires that I wait to make this one when I am not alone.

Stephen,
I know, you're known far and wide as "Martini Boy", but that gives you no license to debase vodka with your recipes.
Oh, wait, flavored by the mfr. is hardly premium vodka.
The very PC incorrect DC resturant of the 70's, The Serbian Crown, introduced me to flavored vodka's, they took premium vodka, added whole citrus, berry or whatever and froze for several weeks.
The only mfr. flavored vodka worth the time was Stoli's "grass".
Oh well, you're back to blogging, can't be any better news than that, regardless of what you're drinking.
Be well my friend,
Mike

On one side you have the martini purists, a la moi; "GIN or Death!"

On the other side you have the vodka purists, a la MikeD. [Note: He'll have to come up with his own credo.]

In the middle, we have the hapless unfortunates, such as VodkaBoy; torn between his immature tastes for tasteless alcohol and his desire to explore the possibilities of an unfettered world of alcohol.

What will become of it/us all?

Stay tuned....

Sound good, but before we met, my wife had an unfortunate incident involving chambord-based cocktails, a post-food-poisoning empty stomach, and a four-star restaurant. I don't think she'd drink one of these.

As a former (reformed?) bartender, I have to admit to a bias against calling drinks of this nature "martinis". I prefer to call them shots.

As a bonus, it's an even speedier route to nudity (as long as you avoid that magic line of over intoxication).

Now, must stop by the liquor store before the weekend as this drink looks tasty, indeed.

Wow. Like a yard sale: comments all over the place. First, don't pay close attention to someone who uses an apostrophe in a plural noun; second, the name of the drink did not include "martini", so the vodka/gin argument is a waste of time, and third, the most important part of the recipe was the last line. Steven, thanks for posting. It's a real treat to have you online.

Pay even less attention to someone who can't spell "Stephen". heh.

Well, I'm not much for girly drinks. But as another former bartender, this is the best one out there. It's politely called Ladies' Delight, but most commonly known as an Orgasm

6 oz sweet cream
1/2 shot Kaluah
1/2 shot Amaretto
1/2 shot Bailey's Irish Cream

Build on ice, shake and strain.

For a sweeter, more frothy drink, add 1/2 scoop ice cream (vanilla bean is best, if you don't have homemade), and blend.

This one is guaranteed, boys. She will absolutely love it.
