        Martinis taste like lighter fluid.
        Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

              I used to think something very similar. Then a friend of mine told me the secret to learning to like them. Drink two back to back. The first one neutralizes your taste buds, and the second, and all subsequent martinis, go down much more smoothly. (The third just helps you hold on to the floor. )

              Seriously, though, I followed his advice and have been happily enjoying martinis for about 15 years now.

              To the shaken v. stirred crowd: I pour my ingredients over ice, then gently swirl them in the shaker. Is that shaken or stirred?

                Stirred.

                  Gentle swirling is stirring. Violence has no place in a martini.

                      Dr. Dorian from Scrubs seems to be a believer in the Appletini or the Nectarini.

                      Personally, I'm not a fan of martinis in general, but only because I dislike olives.

                      Also, the only thing gin should ever be mixed with is tonic and a twist of lime.

                        Appletinis

                        You can make fine martinis without olives. I dislike olives too.

                                The Coffee Martini:

                                1 shot Kalhua
                                1 shot of strong espresso
                                1 shot of good vodka
                                a dash of cream.

                                Mix, serve over ice and top with three coffee beans.

                                Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.
