Bikini Martini

[BinkieBaumont]

The infamous bikini designed by Louis Reard made its show stopping debut at a popular Paris swimming pool, July 5, 1946. Since that day women have eagerly anticipated showing off their hard fought for tanned and toned abs after grueling hours struggling to find the perfect “Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka-Dot Bikini”. Men have equally ogled the public display of pierced navels and toned flesh that parade along public beaches and lounge by private club pools. While the bikini is embraced as a fixture of modern culture, it is interesting to note that it was actually difficult for Louis Reard to find a professional model willing to don the skimpy two piece bikini for its debut. Reard turned to an exotic dancer from the Casino de Paris who had no difficulty parading in public practically nude. Ironically there is no shortage of models or actresses who will appear in public wearing next to nothing now days.

I didn't love it. I liked the "20th Century Blues Martini" soo much more.

The peach schnapps sounds a bit jarring against the citrus of the curacao, lemon juice and orange twist.
