One must draw the line somewhere, and I am quite the metaphorical sketch artiste as you may have already guessed.

However, I maintain that the drink I enjoy, made of Tanqueray and Alvear's Fino Sherry with three Calamata Olives IS a Martini. Although the delicious drink I had two months ago with vodka, a dash of green Chartreuse, and a sprig of rosemary was not a Martini. Two ingredients and a garnish, no more. You don't want to start the slide into girl drink territory. There is no such thing as the bi-curious Martini. It sounds like a lovely drink, Mr. Henry, bit it is NOT a Martini.

Good Lord, man, have you lost your mind? At long last, Senator, have you no shame at all? I still recall the day I tried something called--I am not kidding--an "appletini." Sometimes, when I wake in the night, my mouth parched and caked from breathing through the only aperture available (I am a martyr to a deviated nasal septum), I can still taste it, its foul effluviant seeping from beneath an under-maintained filling. As for sage complementing the flavor of juniper berries, I keep an open mind, something for which I am well known among martini bigots.
