I love Martinis. Frankly, I don't trust a man who drinks, "Wine Spritzers." Butch up Dude and get a real drink. And, by the way, no you can't have a Cosmo.... you are a Dude. (It's okay for Ladies).
Like Bond, I prefer my Vodka, shaken not stirred. No Vermouth, just Vodka shaken hard in a metal shaker with ice and poured into a large martini vessel. I am partial to olives with jalepenos. But I also like fresh blackberries. (above left).
I really enjoy sitting down to a meal in a restaurant and starting off with a cocktail. It's just civilized sipping a proper drink and chatting with your date before you open the menu.
I keep a bottle of Vodka in my freezer at all times. When the mood strikes, I pour the syrupy clear liquid into a martini glass and enjoy. This afternoon is so hot it is all I can think about.
I don't drink often, but when I do, I prefer Potato Vodka. In my opinion, it is the best Vodka because it has a stronger flavor than the more refined grain brands. I typically drink Luksuswowa Vodka. It is strong and smooth. Yet it also has a very strong finish that is not for the faint of heart. Chopin is probably the best known and most refined potato vodka you can find. What's your favorite Vodka?

Thanks! Sometimes I feel like a mad scientist performing human experiments on Taylor. But she seems to be relatively healthy! :)
