OT: Espresso Martini's
What sort of depraved, sick, demented, masochistic person would invent a drink that works to calm you down...and buzz you up at the same time???? I mean, down a couple of these later in the evening and you're going to be awake half the night.
 Hmmm, nothing on but Home Shopping Network?1 1/2oz Absolut Vanilla Vodka 1 1/2oz Khaluah 1oz Bailey's Irish Cream 1oz Fresh Espresso Put all the ingredients into a shaker with ice. Shake for 45 seconds, and pour into a glass straining out the ice. It should have a nice layer of creama just like a good espresso. I need to find out who invented this and slap them around for an hour or two....  William

Speaking of girl drinks, I tried a Green Apple Lambic last night at my favorite watering hole. It tasted like a beer designed for high school cheerleaders.
I stuck with my usual Rogue Brutal Bitter.

Vodka & Red Bull
Give that same yin/yang kinda thing, I suppose.
I deconstruct even Irish coffee. Irish whiskey - check. Coffee - check. Whiskey in coffee - why ruin perfectly good whiskey?

So...you're hanging out with high school cheerleaders these days? William. THAT is not a martini. It's a cocktail yes, but not a martini. They just call it a martini so they can put it in a fancy glass, charge $10, and guys can drink frou frou drinks and still call them a manly drink name. Gin and dry vermouth = martini I'll allow that a vodka martini can be called a martini too...but that's just 'cause I can't drink gin. But I'd rather just skip that whole mess and order a vodka gimlet. Mojitos Caipirinhas (yum) or a simple, traditional lime Daiquiri (not that frozen ick)

Vodka martini for me- none of this froofy stuff. Good vodka (Grey Goose, Absolut, etc) and just wave the vermouth near it- don't pour any in (well, maybe a tad bit)- and shake the hell out of it on lots of ice...
Although my wife sure loves a lemontini (made with lemoncello, our course)

Ouch! Dude, you're killing me! I was drinking a very nice peach Lambic the other night, the perfect summer beer IMO. Needless to say I was catching all kinds of sheeite from the buds, and now this. I thought Boone's Farm Strawberry Hill and Bartles and James were for high school cheerleaders? Thank you for your support... Shawn G
