It's a bartenders term meaning you add something to the drink. An olive is
fine. Start adding other things and it gets "dirty". Nothing wrong with
it, just a bit odd

It means you add some of the olive brine.

Juice from the jar of olives.

I will take a virgin Shirley temple



Isn't that an oxymoron??? :-)

Do you mean tautology?

Yowie



No, I don't think so. Isn't a tautology an expression that says the same
thing twice? (That's what I was taut, anyway. Ba-dum-bum.)

Actually around here it means adding olive juice or the brine of whatever
fruit is being added.

AS FOR ME, I tend to be a traditionalist. I've been through all the
johnny-come-lately variations on the classic Martini, and I'm back to the
beginning: gin/vermouth, 5 parts to 1, STIRRED not shaken (I curse James Bond
for this "shaken" thing) and one to three manzanillas on a toothpick. (Lately
I've been going with three, so as to increase my fruit intake for the day.)

That sounds perfect. Except that for me, no spa treatment: I
wouldn't do the hot lavender bath. Not sure I'd condition my hair,
either. I might rinse it, though. No loofahs here, and moisturizing
just gunks me up. Other than that, it's perfect! :-)

I guess what it would boil down to for me is a quick shower, a large
Martini, and a cat head to skritch.

Different boat, same float.

Pour me a martini and we'll talk about it G



Su Gin/vodka? Up/ice? Dry/Onion/Olive/Twist?

Gin... very dry so light on the vermouth. Shaken, not stirred. Green
olive
and a fancy toothpick, please



I have the *best* fancy toothpicks... You're gonna love it!

Give me a margarita any day!

Yowie



No argument there, either, except that tequila is a killer. After the twelfth
or thirteenth margarita I'm no good for anything except having more
margaritas.

(All kidding aside: I do not have a drinking problem. Damn it. My dad owned a
bar, and we were raised to respect alcohol. He took all the fun out of
sneaking drinks by allowing us to drink -- at home -- when we were growing
up. I really *hate* being drunk, and have only been there twice in my life,
one time being Christmas eve many, many years ago. I had the worst Christmas
ever that year, and I never did it again.)

Vodka, up, extra olives

Mmm. Now that's good.

Jo



Yes, "up" is a must. I never got the "over ice" martini thing. I have a great
collection of martini glasses, some quite pricey, most not, but all fun,
ranging from the classic to the absurdly moderne.

One of my most prized is a red-crystal, wide-bowled hand-made from Austin,
Texas. It cost $90. I NEVER USE IT! I'm afraid to. :-)

Heh. I have some fairly nice glass martini glasses. Not expensive, I
got them in Thailand. But I've knocked over and broken at least 5 of
them, then replaced them. Now they sit in the cupboard and I use a
funky stainless steel one. Klutz proof ;-)

I love cocktail shakers. I have a couple that date back to the 1950's. My
parents were big into cocktail parties

Guess what I'm going to do on 7/27 (the day after my birthday?) Gonna see
the film 'Gone With The Wind' on the BIG screen in downtown Memphis at The
Orpheum, a theatre that was built in the late 1800's. How cool is that? I
think they serve cocktails G
