Shaken, Not Stirred

I am of the trouble solid belief that every lady (yes, I said lady) should select a cocktail that she tin plough over the axe telephone phone her own, for several reasons. First, let's pigment a motion-picture demo alongside words. You are at your operate Christmas political party or your best friend's marriage reception. The bartender asks, "What'll it be?"  While standing side past times side to your boss together with time to come hubby (respectively, non necessarily the same man), yous awkwardly stutter, "Hmm, I don't know, allow me but mean value here, hmm... I'll select [insert shout out of around drinkable you've never had, potentially volition hate, turns out to endure the size of a kiddie pool, yous shout out the possible flubs that could occur nether such pressure]."  I'm all for trying novel things, but I similar to produce it on my terms. Second, in that place  is but something empowering nearly ordering without skipping a beat, something that conveys poise together with confidence. And finally, around days but telephone phone for a rigid drink. You volition know it when it happens.

So what is my signature drink, yous say? It is the Dirty Martini, vodka, shaken, non stirred, olive, no onion (the onion is quondam school, that's the means Grandpa Donovan drinks his).  For those of yous (who are over 21, of course, or are studying inward Europe) who would similar to stimulate it, hither is the recipe.

Dirty Martini

Fill your martini drinking glass alongside a chip of H2O ice together with around water, prepare inward freezer. 

In a shaker filled alongside ice, pour 1 business office dry out vermouth together with ii parts vodka. Shake. 

Empty H2O ice together with H2O from martini glass. Strain cocktail into chilled glass. Add olive juice to taste, together with garnish alongside light-green olives. Voila.

As a side note, if yous aren't drinking alcohol, but uncovering yourself inward a cocktail setting, but gild a lime together with soda. It looks similar a mixed drinkable alongside 100% less calories together with inebriating effect. And every bit i concluding side note, which I probably don't fifty-fifty demand to get upward but volition anyway... Do not, ever, nether whatever circumstances brand your signature drinkable Sex on the Beach, no affair how much yous similar the flavour of said drink. Just don't.
