Check these two out. I imagine they have English accents.
One of them has a crazy long pipe in his hand, and is leaning on the bar behind him. They both have overactive cowlicks and are wearing houndstooth suits. There's an actual wall behind them, with wood paneled squares and it has a horse painting on one side and 3 mugs on hooks hanging on the other. I get the distinct impression they're either in a Gentleman's Club or on some Estate after a day with the hounds.
What do you think they're saying?? in their accents, of course.
These are the latest addition to my vintage glassware collection, and they're even more special because they were a gift from Stitchy McYarnpants, who knows her kitsch!
The content around here has been a little heavy on the yarn and light on the cocktails, so I figured it's a perfect day to take a break from knitting photos and add a Martini recipe to the mix, for no reason other than that's what these glasses are calling for.
Martini
2.5 oz gin or vodka
.5 dry veromouth
1 green olive or a lemon twist
dash of bitters
You can make a martini stirred - add the ingredients into a glass with ice, stir and strain into your glass.
or shaken -add the ingredients into a jigger with ice, shake, and strain.
You can make a gibson by replacing the olive with a cocktail onion.
A perfect martini has equal parts dry and sweet vermouth.
And a dirty martini has a bit of olive brine poured into it.
Have a great weekend and let me know your martini preference!
(I like gin, with the lemon peel and olive, a little dirty)
