Over at a friend’s awhile back and recall him saying he was big into “martinis.” Silly me I assumed he meant gin and vermouth, which surprised me as I’ve never known him to drink gin in any way, let alone martinis.
And he doesn’t. He was mixing vodka and I don’t even recall what. But apparently now it’s just a cool drink name people latched onto and seems to mean basically all kinds of things, not just gin+whatever, but (even more commonly it seems), vodka+whatever. ?? When did this memo come out, I missed it…
