Title: The Best Martini
Post by: PastMember on March 24, 2008, 09:56:49 PM
So, for Matt and I's anniversary, I tried a new drink. It was a white chocolate martini, and I was in heaven. Have you ever had one of those before?

No.  Was it dry?  I tend to not like the dry drinks.  :)

Now if it had been a white chocolate cinnamon martini I would have been in heaven ;)

No, it's really smooth. They use baileys, cream, chocolate, and something else I can't remember. It feels really good on the throat when it goes down, better than milk :D

It's to die for, and so is another cream martini that's called a mint chocolate chip martini. mmm...I think I might get one, now that I have the craving.

I'm not big on that much mint, but I might try a chocolate one.  I've always been told that martinis were dry.  I guess I should actually take some time and try one some day. :)

I believe traditional martini's are dry.  Traditional martini's are vodka and dry vermouth.  But since vodka has a pretty neutral flavor, you can mix it with all kind of different flavors and liquors, pour it in a martini glass and call it a martini.  Thats the trend now - coming up with "specialty" martinis using either other flavored liquors or flavored vodka.  Basically, add a splash of vodka and put it in the right glass and ANYTHING can be a martini.

I don't like alcohol at all.  Do they have a non-alcoholic version?

Jane, I only like alcohol when it's really sweet.  You know...juice with a kick. ;-)

A virgin martini... I think that's an oxymoron  :laughing6:

They might exist though, but that alcohol is part of the flavor. It just wouldn't me the same.

And you are the two who've sworn off coffee??

Post by: Amanda N on March 25, 2008, 05:35:53 PM
Well, to be honest, I don't drink that much either.  

I get a drink...every other month?  If that.  I don't count the wine at communion. :)

But coffee has either that really bitter, or really sweet taste. But drinks! There's such a variety.

As for how often. I'll go through a wave, and then I'll be dry for months.

You people drink coffee everyday :p

Ah, Stasha, I don't!  I don't like coffee.  No coffee for me!

No, but if it's anything like coffee, I'm sure to hate it.
