Ask a question about this stepSome say to make a great martini
Only gin will do it,
And if you mix yours up with vodka
You will live to rue it.
Others, though, like vodka best
to blend with vermouth in their 'tini
Make them both, then ask your guest
to choose between them, "eeny meeny..."
TOO late I noticed that this recipe was sized for TWO, which I had neglected TO check earlier when I followed the recipe otherwise to a "T"....so I had a rather wicked happy-g0-lucky night of consumption, culminating with another sentence containing THREE more homophones.
This was the first martini I have ever made in my life. Not to worry, though. I phoned for a friend who helped finish the mix. I could barely get through one! Those who have met me in person realize I am quite petite in size. The drink is great.
No way! *Proper* martinis are made with GIN, not vodka. Wicked Witch Fake-tini?
well, just like any wicked witch, the beauty is in the eye of the beholder or in this case drinker
Oh, please...let's not start fighting about gin vs vodka! Then we would be wicked! (we all know real martinis are gin)
dymnyno I am just stirring the steaming cauldron. I am not a fan of martinis so, personally it doesn't matter to me what you put in it. LOL.
The vodka/gin debate is an age-old one (James Bond himself was in the vodka camp). If you prefer, make yours with gin! And play nice, please.
IF you are a real martini drinker, you should invest in proper martini glasses...they are shaped like an inverted witches' hat!
Wicked in my house is not vodka (bleh)...it is GIN! congratulations , anyway on a good name.
can't think of any reason not to make this right now, sans eyeball
where's the eyeball in the pic??? nevermind, this is what I need to suffer through all the rugrats showing up at my house during football. :)
What a perfect little pick-me-up for before, during, and/or after trick or treating! Congratulations!
Cheers and Congratulations to thecrabbycook! As I said a few days ago, I would come trick & treating to your doorstep a couple times!
Congrats. I will toast to you when I drink these.
I agree! I laughed out loud and have been giggling for the past half hour. Hysterical!
This is GREAT and I would come trick & treating to your doorstep a couple times!!
Love it! My first thought was to post a "wicked-tini" when the theme was announced...

Did anyone find out where the glass is from?
Thanks!
