What's up with all these "tini" drinks? It's nothing like a martini. Get a different name. Flavored vodka? But the real question I have. The one that keeps me up at night: WHEN DID IT BECOME OK TO SIP YOUR DRINK THROUGH THE STIRRER STRAW?
All microbrews have about as much in common as all sandwiches. You will only know if you taste them if you like them. The 'tini drinks are about the bar and/or the patron trying to be cool. Flavored vodka is a vast improvement over vodka according to many drinkers, but if you like your potatoes sans salt, pepper, and butter and your vodka plain then have at it. Last but not least, it never became OK to sip through the stirrer straw. The illustrations in the dictionary next to douche, moron, and clod reflect this simple truth.
JOHN ROBERTS: From time to time in the years to come, I hope you will be treated unfairly so that you will come to know the value of justice... I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either.
