Martini

 

I visit Wonkette daily to see what screwball shit SCROTUS is doing today that they put a good spin on. A weekly feature is the "Wonkette Happy Hour", and this week they featured a "Filthy Martini", which I am SO pleased to say is the ONE cocktail I have mastered in recent years!  Thank you, Covid-19 lock-down for leaving me with both time and a well-stock liquor cabinet.  LOVE me's Stoli Dirty Filthy Martini's!  I am please to say that I have MASTERED the art of making an EXCEPTIONALLY FINE dirty filthy Stoli martini!   Just made an wonderful batch with dinner tonight! 

  • Ice cubes in a stainless steel martini shaker
  • 1 - Part vermouth
  • 4 - Parts Stoli vodka (not Gray Goose, Kettle One of HORRORS, Tito's - these are like, fucking, battery acid!)
    • Note: Liberal pours, one and all.
  • 1 - Part olive water (from the jar, not the mix).
  • 2-3 - Large, green olives (with pimento, though Blue Cheese stuffed work nicely)
  • Shake intently for 20-30 seconds.  Pour, enjoy!

As a diabetic, I don't drink much but when I do have a cocktail at a bar or lounge, I usually get a Moscow Mule. If I make a cocktail at home, I go with a Black Russian. Hmmmm, there's a pattern here, isn't there? Putin? Never heard of the guy.
