Drop olive into martini glass. Pour a finger +/- of olive juice. Pour martini.
Today I tried this.
Seems Sprecher is jumping on the hard seltzer craze. Carbs a bit higher than most hard seltzers.
Didn’t taste terrible. Taste and consistency like the very end of an Old fashioned. You know, when the ice has melted and watered down the last of your drink. Like teasing your palate with flavor that just isn’t there anymore.
Wouldn’t dream of drinking this again. Not by itself, anyway. But it actual would be good to use as the press when making Old Fashioneds.
And it still was better than the “Old Fashioned” cocktail I was served in phoenix.
Went to a company dinner and my boss at the time asked me if I wanted a cocktail. I asked him what he was drinking - it was something ginger-ale colored, with ice, in an old-fashioned glass, with an extra-long toothpick threaded with an olive or two.
He told me it was a martini. I declined.
Any time we took my grandmother out for dinner, she asked for a Brandy Alexander. Most bartenders had no idea what she wanted. When she did get one, it was normally with cream, not ice cream. When she got the question, “ice cream or cream”, she knew she hit the jackpot. She also chose ice cream and would make them at home with ice cream.
Went to the new Mexican restaurant and ordered a margarita, on the rocks. Nope. No chance. Most of the locals had only had frozen margaritas and did not know that on the rocks is possible. Only us (American) and one coworker (Italian) knew that there are different ways to serve a margarita.
I went to that Mexican restaurant twice, but no more. I have heard from others is the only safe bet is to order a bottle of beer and ask them to bring it you unopened. They can’t even pour beer.
In The Firm Gene Hackman’s character laid bare the evil in his nature by ordering a martini on the rocks.
