well, I am bigimletual in that I like Vodka or Gin, but must have roses!
This is my boat. They're part of my crew. No one's getting left. Best you get used to that.

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.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
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?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Canadian whiskey with a splash of water, pleaseandthankyou.
Or, if I trust the bartender, a Perfect Manhattan: [link] But on the rocks, not in a cocktail glass. Those tend to spill.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I miss my laptop so very very much.
Not nuch of a drinbker anymore but if I do, it's bourbon or tequila. No nasty gin. We hates it.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I also adhere firmly to Daisy Jane's belief that a drink made out of vodka, vermouth and either an olive or an onion may be a delightful libation but it is not, strictly speaking, a martini.
Shit. Don't even get me started on the chocolate martinis. Not a martini! Mine (back when I was allowed to have them) had the vermouth rolled around the glass, Bombay Saphire and a squirt of olive juice shaken and poured into the glass with the ice crystals on top, garnished with almond stuffed olives.
Damn. Now I want one.

I finally got my laptop back from the skeevy repair place. When did computer shit get so shady? Unlike their promises, they never called to tell me it was ready. I showed up 1 minute before closing and waited FORTY FIVE MINUTES for them to just finish up.
And then I had to pay them with my debit card because their credit card machine can't handle transactions over $100. Oh, there's something behind that.
But the Powerbook's back! And now it will play with my server! Yay! It's like a sleepover with printed circuit boards.
