Jet Fuel

The Margaritas were so good that I had to share, the Martinis were for me alone.

My rule with a Martini, it must to cold. No, it must be beyond cold. It must be arctic. I keep martini glasses in the freezer just so the little darlins don't warm up on me.

A good Martini is one that reminds me of jet fuel as I drink it. I hate the idea of Martinis growing warm on me so much that I tend to drink them quickly ... this often leads to trouble ...

Here's What You Need to Make a Martini:

• ice
• shaker
• 2 oz gin
• 1/2 to 1 oz dry vermouth
• olive garnish

Here's How Anne Made the Martini:
Shake briskly, for the small bubbles that cloud the Martini when it is poured are pleasing to me.
