-

It's a gin.
What kind of drinks do you like?
What do you usually drink(alcoholic)? -
Standard Gin Martini
Ingredients
6 ounces of freezing Bombay Sapphire or Mercury gin.
5 drops of Noilly Pratt dry vermouth.
2 small twists of lemon rind.
2 Picholine olives.
The mix
Fill a glass martini shaker about 3/4 full of cracked, clean ice.
Pour your gin into the shaker and let stand for sixty seconds. Count down from sixty to zero.
Approach your shaker with caution, and lovingly apply the lid.
Shake, shake, shake. About fifteen, vigorous, diagonal shakes should do the trick.
Put that shaker down and get two well chilled martini glasses from the fridge or freezer. Allow the shaker to rest for about another sixty seconds.
Into each glass drop two drops of vermouth (the fifth drop is just for good luck).
Each glass gets a twist and an olive (the olive is optional).
Strain your very chilly gin into each glass. -

Very few people really can appreciate Martinis.

Yah, not many ppl it appreciate because of its dryness. The control of vermouth is very important. Seasoned drinkers know how to specify the degree of dryness.Originally posted by M©+square:You like martini???

The turn off is the vermouth. At least to me, vermouth is my major turn off.Originally posted by shadowlunar:Yah, not many ppl appreciate because of its dryness. The control of vermouth is very important. Seasoned drinkers know how to specify the degree of dryness. -
Maybe, you wanna try this recipe? It's without vermouth.Originally posted by M©+square:The turn off is the vermouth. At least to me, vermouth is my major turn off.

You can call it a "fruity martini". Pretty good for cocktail parties.Originally posted by M©+square:Any martini without vermouth is ok. -
Heh...Originally posted by shadowlunar:You can call it a "fruity martini". Pretty good for cocktail parties.
I realise that i didn't like Martini because it's a short drink, not worth the money. -
But, it offer some good kicks. One down, two down, and three, you're out.Originally posted by M©+square:Heh...

Yucks, it's like drinking molten lead if you are not careful enough. I still dunno how to drink it straight from a shot glass.Originally posted by M©+square:Three drinks out then it's a waste of money la!

You mean there are people who drink it straight from glass?!?!?Originally posted by shadowlunar:Yucks, it's like drinking molten lead if you are not careful enough. I still dunno how to drink it straight from a shot glass.
Wicked!!!
I know using straw is the way. -
Yup, seen people did it before. I think the drink is called Flaming Sambuca. Have to lit it first and extinguished the flame before drinking.Originally posted by M©+square:You mean there are people who drink it straight from glass?!?!?

Orh...they got to put out the flame.Originally posted by shadowlunar:Yup, seen people did it before. I think the drink is called Flaming Sambuca. Have to lit it first and extinguished the flame before drinking.
Sambuca got put one coffee bean in the shot glass and suppose to be drank with the alcohol but must spit it(bean) out. -
I think it's Italian way for drinking it, right? Forgot the name of it though.Originally posted by M©+square:Orh...they got to put out the flame.

Didn't learn the method of drinking leh.Originally posted by shadowlunar:I think it's Italian way for drinking it, right? Forgot the name of it though. -
Me neither, too strong and extreme for me. I still prefer cocktails, some mixes and housepours.Originally posted by M©+square:Didn't learn the method of drinking leh. 
If you have the chance, try some homemade Greek liquor. Lesser kick but not so offensive. -
Corktails expensive drink. I cannot afford all the time.Originally posted by shadowlunar:Me neither, too strong and extreme for me. I still prefer cocktails, some mixes and housepours.

Normally, I'll have one or two cocktails first, after that, it will be housepours or beer.Originally posted by M©+square:Corktails expensive drink. I cannot afford all the time. -

Boh lui leh.Originally posted by shadowlunar:Normally, I'll have one or two cocktails first, after that, it will be housepours or beer.

Err...i think you should go to your bed and ask your mother to put you to sleep.Originally posted by ceecookie:i tried a gin cocktail b4 in China...wha lao eh..so strong..ended up asking my mom to drink it while i settled for beer
Just don't act adult. -
I fly to Germany quite often. Min. 3~4 times a year. Beer and wine there are quite cheap as compare to here or DFS. Hard liquor is about the same price in DFS but they offer a better variety there. Normally, I smuggle a few bottles while coming back. Make my own drinks at home. Shiok.Originally posted by M©+square:Boh lui leh.
