Dirty Martini

My favorite drink and possibly the one thing I could live off is the DIRTY MARTINI. I make a very good one if I say so myself.

First you get a Martini Shaker and put a few ice cubes in it.
Than you pore a lot of gin it it. I use the cheap stuff because I drink a lot of them and don't want to go broke because I may or may not be an alcoholic.
Next throw in a dash or so of dry vermouth.
Than pore in a good amount of olive juice, the saltier the better in my opinion.
Put the lid on and shake it all up. After you've had a few this step is more and more fun. You may fall so be careful.
Pore into a glass are drink straight from the shaker.

Put some olives in it too. Forgot that one. That way you can eat something too.

If at some point it looks like that then you have made way too many, but you were making them right before this happened.

I cheap liquor Why spend a lot when I'm just gonna drink it all anyways?

I don't drink much but when I do it's usually my mom's liquor. She gets fancy enough liquor to where it's in a glass bottle instead of plastic! Actually, she does get good tequila (Patron) and Triple Sec (Gran Marnier).

They are even putting semi-costly liquor in plastic bottles now. It's a sad sad world

That sucks!

Popov vodka is cheap and plastic. You probably don't have that in MI though. I'd tend to think that the stuff they make in bathtubs out back isn't available nationally.

EDIT: Wikipedia disagrees! It's made in Connecticut (when I think vodka I don't think Russia - I think Connecticut!) and sold nationally!

Yes we have that. I bought a 20 dollar bottle of whiskey the other day in a plastic bottle. I was sad

What is kinda funny though, is popov is in plastic but the really cheap stuff is still in glass

You should get your liquor from Europe (especially Spain and Portugal). You can get a fifth of Jameson whiskey (which is good stuff!) for under $20 there!

I can't wait that long duh. There is a liquor store right down the street. 3 minute walk, tops, it's very easily accessable

3 minutes!?

From my house we have a gas station across the street (well, walk to the corner and then it's on the next corner....60 seconds tops).

Cregors (liquor store) is a good block and half (2 minute walk) away.

3 minutes is generous, more like 2 and they know me well there. They are always ordering different flavor vodkas for me

The idiots at One Stop don't know me! It's the same girl (I forget her name ) and she always checks my ID. She knows my mom and (underage) sister by name!

haha at "my" store, as soon as I walk in the owner will say "Hey I got a new vodka for you to try!"

I'm thinking that might not be a very good thing

I sent my sister's boyfriend to store and had him buy me all the stuff to make a dirty martini. Yumm. It's been so long since I've had one I forgot how good they are. Seeing myself really drunk tonight.
