The Great Martini Question?

[AlphaFrog]

Whatever the hell they gave me at this little pizza restaurant in Cannes was AWESOME. I just ordered a martini, no instructions, so I have no idea what they did, but it was wonderful.

You'd be surprised that sometimes the most random places can have amazing drinks. When I was in Budapest, we went to this underground, deserted, really weird disco there, yet they made amazing drinks.

There was also a restaurant in Cannes, called Stromboli's (it's right across the street from where they hold the film festival), and they had THE BEST Margarita on the Rocks I have ever had.

vodka martini made with 3 oz of Luxsusova Polish vodka, eighth of a teaspoon of vermuth, and a couple of anchovy olives.

gin martini made with 3 oz of tanqueray, half a teaspoon of vermuth, and a pimento stuffed olive.

I don't think any of the fruit flavored drinks should be called Martinis. They seem to fall under the generic term Cocktail.

Jack and Coke is a hi-ball. Jack on the rocks is nearly a sacrament.

Famous Grouse on the rocks is a sacrament. Single malts straight up are proof of the goodness of Providence.
