I like my martinis heavy on the sour apple mix, so I've never understood the horror of anything not bone dry mixing with the gin.
It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

This is why I drink gimlets. Even if someone doesn't know whet it is, I can usually explain it well enough to get something I like. Although I think I remember a debate here about whether a gimlet should contain RoseZs lime juice. (YES)

the great gimlet debate was up there with muffaletta. (FTR, I am bigimletual, I like it both ways)

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
The drink I like doesn't have a name. It is sad. Although my cousins call it a Tamatini and have been able to add it to the menu at several bars in Seattle.

well, I am bigimletual in that I like Vodka or Gin, but must have roses!

And how do you mix a Tamatini?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Vodka gimlet, straight up. Ketel and fresh lime syrup, please.
Don't have to be organic, or nothing, but feh on Roses.

Citrus vodka, a splash of real lemon juice, sparkling water over ice. Garnish with lemon or lime. Very few bars carry bottled lemon juice behind the bar so several slices of lemon squeezed into said concoction also works.
edited because "slash" and "splash" are apparently two entirely different words.

Our wings are not tired.
I've always been a gimlet girl.
For me, it's an excuse to drink lime juice. Gin gives me headaches, so I drinks the waaaadka.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Gimlets are the only drinks in which I like gin, though I don't know what the good gins are so I may revisit that at some point if I have new data to test. I would be fine with Rose's if it wasn't full of corn syrup.
And I like a lot of vermouth in my martinis. If I want vodka straight up then that is what I will order. 7:1 is the ratio I learned and it remains my preference. So very not dry.
Et ask: should that be "weren't" up there, last sentence first paragraph?
