And IPAs are awesome if you like sucking pinecones. :-)

Don't even get me started on gin. :-)
I was slapping my knee at Slappy.

Gonna be yelling at the TV for that game :-)

I take it you wouldn't like the taste of Retsina then?

Are you talking about making a martini or OGC?

We don't want to know about your particular "happy endings." TMI, bud. :-)

Apparently the restraining order did not reach your lawyer yet, Pete. Ah, yes...it's a holiday.

Made with pine resin? Geez, must taste like a Greek IPA. :-) :-)

I like just a little vermouth. I put ice in my shaker, pour in about 1/4 shot of vermouth, swirl it a bit so that some of the vermouth coats the ice and then pour the vermouth out.

Then I add my gin and give it all a good shake.

I like a variety of different gins, however there is a one local one (the name escapes me at the moment as I suffer from CRS) that has a lot of Juniper in it and I tend to use that one the most.

There is nothing about a martini that I like, not into gin, vermouth or olives, I do kind of like that the name sounds a bit like Martian or Dean Martin for that matter... but that's about it.

Maybe they like the smell of pine needles from the gin.

Gin ain't terrible. Never tried a purist martini. I just mix belvedere, a splash of olive juice, and garnish with a garlic-stuffed olive.

I like gin and tonics, so maybe I should give it a shot. I just can't stand the taste of vermouth.

As far as piney tasting IPA's, I'd have to agree with Tom. I really only like citrus-y hops like Centennial. I'm more of a stout drinker myself though.

Sounds like we are on the same page with beer and martinis, Peter. :-)

Not much of an IPA fan myself, but I do love me some stout :-)

I would always lend you a hand, however distasteful it might be, ADB.


The circumstances would have to be pretty dire, though. Just sayin'.

So long as you wear a purse hat, Pete, I am in.

All you haters!!! :-) Remember the "Grapenuts" commercials of the 1970's with Euell Gibbons..... "Many parts of a pine tree are edible!" :-):-)

That aside, I must be strange (but most of you know that already!). I love a good martini. Prefer mine "dirty", and with the vermouth poured in, then back out, then add the rest of the ingredients. Since I make mine "dirty" with the olive juice, I have no real preference on the olive as a garnish. Hard to beat Amsterdam brand for taste and price, IMO. But will always take one with Tang or Sapphire. And love gin and tonic. But in spite of that love, I cannot stand IPA's!! A waste of good water and yeast!

But I have also been known to eat a pine tree or two!!:-)

"Edible" does not necessarily equal "tastes good", Cliff. :-)
