    Just curious what the weekend has to do with a good cocktail?? Is Monday breakfast bad form?

    Great post! Martinis, Old Fashioneds, and Manhattans are the cornerstones of cocktail recipes, and it's astonishing how many wet behind the ears "mixologists" don't know the basics. A Marti these days, if it's not an appletini or some other monstrosity, is likely to be pure gin or (ack!) vodka...
