In college, the recipe for the Perfect Martini, was "pour chilled gin into a martini glass and think nice thoughts about Vermouth."
This is my FiL and his brother.
The gin & tonic? Keep gin in fridge with a bottle of tonic; look at the tonic when pouring the gin.

I have a friend who makes screwdrivers in a similar way.
Pour the vodka into a glass. Go to the fridge. Open the fridge. Show the vodka the orange juice. Close fridge. Drink "screwdriver".
My husband's old boss preferred his vodka on ice, with a twist of lemon. He made no bones of calling it anything else.
For my martinis, I like the spray the vermouth over the ice with a mister method. You get just enough vermouth.
On the original topic of Scotch -- there are two good cheap funky bars within staggering distance of what I've been known to refer to as the Mishadome.
One has Laphroaig for $6 a pop, and the other has it for $5. Now, since the beers I can drink run somewhere between $4 and $5 at these places (one does have cheap-ass beer for $2.50 per, but it's cheap-ass beer), I feel wrong not drinking the Laphroaig. So I can say from experience that if you're already a Scotch drinker of any kind, the tolerance for Laphroaig is (a) quickly picked up, especially if (b) you're drinking a lot of it at once. So (c), if you find the right funky bar, it's a very affordable night out. And (d), now I want a drink, and I need to get back to what I was doing before I logged on instead.
This is really, really funny.
Anyone have a Speranza link? It's in my bookmarks ... somewhere....

Damn. It would be really fucking difficult for me to figure out what fic author I would want to read before I die. It would be either Speranza or Ple.
Damn, guh, glurble.
