OT: Just got a juicer
GarageWoodworks
Wow!!! The kids are going to start calling me Crazy Juice Guy. So
far I've tried apple/orange/pear blends. Incredible flavors. And
it's good for you! I wonder if it's any good with rum. Hmmmm
What is your favorite juicer recipe?
Morris Dovey
Is it a neander-juicer or a normal-juicer? Either way, congratulations!
I've heard that a shot of elm juice is good for headaches and ordinary
aches and pains (as from running a neander-juicer). :)

What kind: Champion?* I used to lust after getting one of those back
when I was an organic vegetarian macrobiotic hippie.
* Those are the good kind of juice "extractors" that expel the pulp
along with the juice so you can keep on juicing without stopping to
clean out the pulp. I had a little Oster juicer that was OK, but the
pulp stayed inside the basket and had to be cleaned out frequently.

I'm with you on the shaken-not-stirred thing, but dontcha think that old
"gin only" ship has long since sailed? Methinks you're fighting a losing
battle here. I have one friend/client who's a martiniphile and prefers
vodka.
Myself, I like gin better, but alternate between the two.
(However, I do draw the line at "appletinis" and other abominations ...)
David Nebenzahl
What was the one that was "A dessert topping! AND a floor wax!"?
Robatoy
Gag me with a spoon. Martinis are gin based. The ones with vodak [sic]
in them are cocktails. And appletinis? Oy! Those are rude!
Robbie's martini secret recipe:
Tall, martini shaped glass. Frozen.
3 oz of dry gin. Sapphire or Boodles. Then.. in an adjacent room, one
opens a bottle of dry vermouth. If there isn't too much of a draught,
then it is safe to fill the Martini Dry Vermouth's bottle cap. A
careful puff of breath aimed in the direction of the room where the
gin patiently awaits a waft of vermouth vapours. Presto. No lemon
rind nonsense, because, to quote Jackie Gleason: "If I want lemonade,
I will ask for lemonade."
NO ice, we are here to drink, not to skate.
An olive? Maybe 3 on a skewer, weeeee little ones.

Six of those and you're a stock-broker.

Guy walks into a bar, sits at the bar and attempts to order a "Perfect
Martini",
suggesting that he will tell the bartender how to make a "Perfect
Martini".
The bartender objects stating he has been a bartender for over 30
years and is
certainly capable of making a "Perfect Martini" and proceeds to make
and serve
a classic martini.
Guy takes a sip, spits it out and screams "RUBBISH".
Now I'm going to tell you how to make a "Perfect Martini".
Start by putting on a pair of insulated gloves, a totally frosted from
the freezer,
3 ounces of 38F Bombay Gin gently poured into the frosted glass.
At a distance of 10 ft, quietly whisper "vermouth", then serve.
The bartender complied and served the guy's martini as instructed.

Yeah, yeah; I think we've all heard those "just give a sideways glance
at a bottle of vermouth" prescriptions. (By the bye, didn't Herb Caen
tell this same story?)
Myself, I'll use gin or vodka as I please (but prefer gin), and mix the
drink in the proportions of a little vermouth:a lot of gin/vodka.
A frosted glass is always a Good Thing. And it should be a classic
martini glass, not a tumbler or a Coke glass or a wine glass.
My personal recipe (not original to me, but given by some friends, Joe &
Kirsten):
Obtain a cocktail shaker.
Mix gin (or vodka) and vermouth in your preferred ratio.
Put in 2-3 good-sized ice cubes.
Shake the hell out of the shaker.
The drink is considered done when your hand starts sticking to the shaker.
The resulting ice crystals in the martini make an exquisite drink.

The BEST 'martini' (yup, that's what they called it) was a crew of
demolition guys, hired to tear down 6 store-fronts on Queen West in
TO, and it was HOT HOT HOT that day. They had a formula... and it fit
exactly; a job-site cooler, which took the following:
2 x 40 oz of Boodles gin.
3 x 1.5 liter bottles of Schweppes tonic.
ONE whole bag of ice.
and one pint of lemon juice.

it was 106F that day. There were 8 of us...we refilled that sucker

Back in the days when I would partake a martin-eye or two, would keep

Well... I have no objection to vodka in its place, it's just not a
martini. Gin must be (or should be, anyway) consumed with discretion,
taste, and restraint, or the old adage will kick in, "Gin makes you
sin". I have a lovely relationship - restrained and disciplined - with
Hendrix, a particularly fine example of Ginophage.

These are children's drinks wherein the intent is to get mentally
rearranged and never taste the instrument of one's destruction. For
such people, I recommend straight Sterno.
P.S. I have few rules about living, but one of them is ironclad:
No alcohol before power tools, firearms, or women - mixing
any of the aforementioned will cause one to lose life, liberty,
and the pursuit of happiness...
