Martini, anyone?

You've already finished the lobster?

Lobster's gone, I've taken my mid-evening nap, and now I'm ready to have a cocktail and go out!

wow, Lobster, Martini - what's going on kicky?

Yes, vermouth makes is dry. "Extra dirty" means extra olives/olive juice.

If I get a martini at a bar, I just ask for rasberry vodka, chilled and straight up. Just a glass of vodka.

I have my own martini I make. Chocolate rasberry.

About 60/40 rasberry vodka and chocolate liquor(not the creamy kind, the clear), with a splash of chambord for color. Good stuff.

I'll probably have to make one or two. I'm sitting in waiting until I go pick these broads up at the airport. Scheduled for midnight originally, but left 1/2 late, still one stop.

Well, I only have one more week in NYC...after that I'll have to start looking for work again. I'm still just enjoying the freedom.

Thanks for the scoop on the dryness, Slappy-dude.

Kickycan = lobster and martini

Ratzenhofer = peanut butter sandwich and beer


No wonder Kicky gets all the women. He is suave and sophisticated.

Meanwhile, I just sit here and wait for the next unsuspecting sheep to wander along.

Life is hell.

You moving?

Well then kicky, enjoy and consider this your equivalent to maternity leave.

slappy, chocolate raspberry martini?

No.

You are correct, CJ.

I have a feeling you asked that question with one eyebrow raised.

Someone should get PETA into gustav's swamp.

Yep, Slappy, I've decided to give up this NYC life for something else...I don't really know what that something else is yet, but I'm moving to Rochester, and I'm going to probably be moving to either Buffalo to go to school for a new career in lab technology, or to someplace warm. That's as far as I've got in my plans so far, but I'm definitely moving out of Manhattan next weekend. It's going to blow not living in Manhattan, but I am just not into all the **** you have to compromise on in order to live here anymore.

Yes I do slappy. Tell me the recipe!

I could tell you to open your damn eyes and read the post where I put the recipe, CJ, but I'll do it again. Just because I'm a super nice guy like that.

Rasberry vodka.
Chocolate liquor. Such as Creme de Cacao, the CLEAR not creamy. (although I suppose you could use either).
Chambord.

I do it chilled in a mixer. Mix the vodka and chocolate liquor about 50/50...I put a little more vodka to make it stronger. Then a splash or a bit more of chambord for color/added sweetness.

Slappy, you are such an f'ing girl.
<shaking head>
Chocolate martinis.

Unf'ingbelievable.

A martini:

8 parts Bombay Sapphire gin
1 part dry vermouth
maybe ice
1 green olive, rinsed before it goes in the glass
stir gently

I'll have to agree, Beth. I used to think Slappy was one of the tough guys.

Until he disclosed this bombshell. Chocolate friggin' martinis!

He deserves to have a giant beer can dropped on his head.

I missed that somehow.
Thanks for the recipe, I will try that.....

I'm a MAN. I like Camaros, and...FOOTBALL! And I like BITCHES!!!

Uh, and I like rasberry chocolate martinis. And, uh, I made a thread asking advice on drapes.

Did I mention I like FOOTBALL!
