What Did You Drink Last Night?

[AtomicEraTom]

Not the greatest beer in the world, but for $10.99 a 30 pack, I'll take it!

HI Tom

We used to call that stuff Slam's because if you didn't slam it down, you'd taste it. Some beer doesn't travel well, and I bet Hamm's is one of them.

Later

Nope, I've done it

Good! Fishing out the window isn't all that it is cut out to be.

For the Jubilee I made Martini's the traditional way! Very yummy!! I blogged my guide to making the perfect Martini if you want to look

I like a much drier Martini than the recipe calls for. I let the gins see the vermouth and that is good enough for me.
Actually, I have a vermouth mister:

Three sprays per drink is good enough. My friend and I have devised the spicy martini where we add one or two olives stuffed with spicy red peppers to the aforementioned drink.

Now why did I know that?

I do love the Hamm's Bear. Remember the 'motion lights' they used to have for advertising? Where it looked like the water was moving and such? I have always wanted one, but cannot find one for under 300 bucks.

I got one for free. I bought it off of eBay and it came all crashed up. The insurance paid off and just told me to keep it. I fixed it. It is the 1956 TV style one:

The water ripples.

I know what I am getting my darling husband for Father's Day now.

He likes his Martinis dry I take it.

Geez, why don't y'all just call it Gin, 'cause it ain't a Martini anymore!

I like Cold Gin. Works for me.
Vermouth tastes like medicine. No need to ruin perfectly good gin with it.

[Almost wave the bottle over the gin dry. You should have been there when he ordered a dry martini and the bartender thought that meant he wanted extra vermouth!

Geez, why don't y'all just call it Gin, 'cause it ain't a Martini anymore!

And yet we miss it if we are out of it. He pours a little vermouth in the glass swirls it around and pours it back into the bottle.

Dos Equis on tap yesterday and from the bottle today. Life is grand.

EXTRA!? Get the rope!

That sounds about right. Coat the glass and throw the rest back in the bottle.

Ah James, you sound a little like me, I HATE VERMOUTH. I don't hat Martini's, I hate Vermouth. I tried making Manhattan's and I hated them too. Wet, dry, don't matter. Gin and Tonic is where it's at.

Tonight I had a schooner of Bass ale with swordfish and veggies. Gotta love a place (Fish Tale's in Long Beach) that has thee beer sizes, 16 OZ, 20 OZ, and 32 OZ. Makes it more difficult to stay thirsty my friend.

Well, Don't do the Manhattan then. That is what Old Fashioneds were invented for. Same thing without the nasty vermouth.

Yes and thanks to you, I went through an entire jar of maraschino cherries in about 2 months. Old Fashioned's are GREAT.
