The Best Martini

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

I dunno...I really like 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?

Amanda N · March 25, 2008, 05:10:18 PM

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??

Amanda N · 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

Amanda N · March 25, 2008, 05:45:59 PM

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