   What? Beef broth, citrus and vodka? Assuming it wasn't a joke, that "classy" lady needs remedial boozer therapy.

   Ah yes. By "classy", I meant "klassy". Should have qualified.
   
   And surprisingly the cocktail wasn't all that bad. She gave Jessica and I a sip (before her boozy lips contaminated the glass).

   Can't get past the beef broth. It's the Martini you'll want to use a fork, but use a spoon, you'll want to get every drop!

   I get an urge to burn down an establishment that puts martini and vodka even remotely close together in its horrid brain. But that beefy drink sounds yum yum.

   I know Vodka Martini is a sin, but it's delicious and it doens't give me a hangover so I'm sticking with it.
   
   And that beef broth drink: actually delicious.

   For the record, I am a cocktail purist and believe a true martini is only made with gin. Delicious, delicious gin.
   
   But I do find it amusing to add the suffix -'tini' to the end of alcohol concoctions that are so obviously not martinis. Like "Beef-tini". It's hilarious and ridiculous and I love it.

   vodka martini is perfectly acceptable. The name is qualified as such. And if you love it, cheers and bottoms up.
   
   And I am going to have to pick up some beef broth. It sounds like a bloody mary for people who don't like vegetables.

   I've heard of a Bacon Martini that is served @ the Double Down Saloon.

    I thought of that too, @james, and I remembered I'm not much of a bloody mary person either. I've also read about BBQ martini recipes. Hmmm

    Martini that makes me want to punch someone: Apple-tini. Even worse: man drinking Apple-tini. Have some dignity and choke down a Scotch or even a beer.

    I swear, my friends took me to a martini bar when I lived in Albany. They had a huge martini menu (on which the closest thing to a classic martini was a dirty martini, which is yum) that was a dozen illustrated pages long, as if an alcoholic commandeered a Friendly's menu.
    
    It was full of familiar drinks with new names served in a martini glass. It was called a coffetini, but it was just a mudslide. It was called an agent orangetini, but it was just a side car with a splash of orange juice. It was like a thousand drunk monkeys mixed cocktails for a thousand years and recreated familiar drinks.

    Mmmm sidecar. I love a good sidecar.
