Please do.

I can't do gaggingly sweet cream drinks anymore. Not since that
weekend on the delta, years ago, when we all got smashed on mudslides.
Oh, the pain. The only time I take vodka is in bloody marys.

I was just teasing nb. I detest sweet drinks myself.

Hey, here's one you might try, although you'll need to get the Meyer
lemon juice from someone from up here. t's admittedly Delilah-esque.j
I haven't actually had it, but it's been in my recipe file for
awhile...

After School Special

Lillet Blond (a French vermouth/aperitif) is essential for this drink.
I suppose that (white) Dubonnet could stand in if absolutely
necessary, but I can't vouch for the results. If you don't have orange
bitters, regular bitters will do but will result in a pink drink.
A variation, which I have come to prefer over my original, is to
substitute a dash of green Chartreuse for the bitters.
2 fl oz Gin
1 fl oz Lillet Blond
1/4 fl oz Meyer lemon juice
Dash of Orange Bitters
Shake ingredients over ice and strain into chilled cocktail glass.
Garnish with an orange or lemon twist.

No Meyer lemons to be found around here. At least I think so: Whole
Foods might have some.
Will it work with regular lemons?

I've had close. Basically a Lillet martini with more than a lemon
twist. I often prefer a martini w/ lemon twist. I went
through a bottle of Lillet. It was ok, but not to my taste. I'm
strictly an M&R dry fan. Straight, on the rocks is one of my Summer
faves. I will give the orange bitters thing a try, but I'll have to get some
orange bitters. I only have angustora and peychaud's. I didn't
realize bitters was commonly associated with the gin martini. I may
try a pink gin. Peychaud's sounds like the one for that.

Would you like an olive in that?

Heard from a very traditional bartender, at a posh country club when
some philistine ordered a chocolate "martini" ah classic moments.

Let's just say that the look on the customers face was of complete
disgust, while saying no. Not thinking that Sir Trendy got the
bartender's point. Bartender proceeded to follow it up with, but
martinis have olives.

Kudos to the bartender, when I ordered a Beefeater gimlet he knew how
to make it and didn't ask if I wanted it made the "right" way with
vodka.

It's all your fault, Tammy!

Not the replies, the fact I went out and bought some sapphire and M&R,
both on sale. The problem is, I've been using public transportation
lately and I'm completely pooped humping around two large bottles of
M&R and a 1.75L bottle of gin (plus other groceries). It may be days
before I regain enough strength to actually mix a martini. (or not

Nah, just being silly. It was an opportunity to recount a fun tale
about designer cocktails, thank you for providing it. New, not
really, just have been lurking more than posting for the past couple
of years.

Actually, I don't keep hard liquor around, anymore. Haven't had any
gin for 2-3 months. I always have a bottle of vermouth on hand for
cooking. But, they both just happened to be on sale. Being a cheap
sumbitch, I don't buy anything unless it's on sale.

You've *got* to be kidding! Does Just Desserts really have that
liqueur or are you playing with his mind? Inquiring minds want to
know. If it's true, I see you now have an alternative to Delilahs.

I finally remembered to order a Deliah at a bar and it was the most
distusting thing I've ever tasted. I don't like the flavors of gin
and lemon juice together.

Lillet red (rouge to you) with a twist is sublime.

If you know how to drink, you know enough to call it a choclatini, not
a chocolate "martini". In any case, don't order them in bars - they
are play drinks for play times (parties).

Was it Meyer lemon juice? Makes a difference. Then again, if you
don't like gin and lemon juice <shrug>

I buy meyer from the local fruit barn whenever I need lemons, so I'm
perfectly aware of their taste. I decided that the flavors of gin and
lemon juice simply don't go together and the fine differences between
meyer and persian wasn't a factor.

Well it is a matter of personal taste, I reckon, and as they say,
there's no accounting for that! I did have something called a
lemondrop or some such in Phoenix last year - it was gin and Eureka
lemon juice. That one wasn't to my taste! (I do consider the
differences between Meyer and Eurekas to be wider than you do
though....)

I think you might have been mixing up your lemons with your limes by
calling the common lemon "Persian", no? Or am I off kilter again?
<wouldn't be the foist time!> There are Persian lemons, of course,
they are seedless and not terribly sour. Eureka lemons are the common
lemon found in US grocery stores, I believe.

He was drinking pink gins last night, Tammy. And he is probably going
to blame it all on you.

I tried making Delilahs with Sapphire, and I must admit, I like them
better made with Plymouth.

Christine, a gin heretic.

I prefer to buy meyers. Not because of taste, but because they are
jucier.... it's like the difference between valencia and navel oranges
to me.

I dredged up persian remembering it was used to describe some sort of
citrus in discussions here. If they are really the common lime and
not the "common" lemon.... <shrugging again>
