AlphaSigOU , Hubby has read most of them. You are so right.
Let's not forget what he did for the martini as well!
I'll have that with gin please!
"A high-quality gin needs no companion. It should be served by pouring it over ice in a mixing glass, stirring and straining into a martini glass. When combining with other clear liquids, do not shake as this will cloud the mixture. Shaking does not effect the flavor of the spirit, just the appearance."
...and "appearance" is what it's
all about!
