Overrated things #378 - Martinis - might as well drink cold petrol imo
I thought that until I had a lychee one at the Groucho t'other day.
There is no more efficient way of getting a chap to where he needs to be, pre-prandially speaking.
Very dry. Gin. Olive.
Just one.
Well yes. Raw alcohol will do that for you. However, it isn't pleasant.
The buzz is nice, but the process of getting there is actively unpleasant.
I think the most efficient way of being not where I wanted to be was
the Jager train :-(
A good night instantly ruined.
I like a cocktail to have a good kick of raw spirit (don't see the point otherwise), but it should
be mitigated by other flavours. A Martini lacks sufficient amelioration for me.
Is that the one Bond drinks?
Ordered on once and very almost spat it out when the waiter brought it down. f**king vile.
Ordered a beer.
Bind drinks a Vodka won, due to a Smirnoff sponsorship
Gin is better, than a smirnoff one anyway, but is still very much gin.
Basically needs to be good vodka and very cold to be palatable
It was offensive to my palate.
