So, I decided to do some research on martinis. You know, educate myself on the ways of the martini world. Turns out, there's a whole martini etiquette I was unaware of. Apparently, holding the martini glass by the stem is a thing. Who knew? I've been holding it like I'm toasting to victory in a beer pong game. And then there's the ratio of gin to vermouth. It's like a secret code only martini enthusiasts understand. I asked the bartender for a hint, and he looked at me like I asked him to solve a complex math problem. "Just make it strong but not too strong," I said. I think I confused him even more.
Oh, and the garnishes! It's not just about olives; apparently, you can use lemon twists, cocktail onions, or even cucumber slices. I feel like I'm in a salad bar, not a bar bar. I just want a drink, not a garden in my glass.
So, note to self: if you ever find yourself in a martini situation, just smile, nod, and hope no one notices you're holding the glass upside down.

I recently decided to be brave and make my own martini at home. I figured, how hard could it be, right? I gathered all the ingredients, and there I am, standing in my kitchen, feeling like a mad scientist about to create the elixir of sophistication. But folks, pouring gin into a shaker requires precision I didn't know I possessed. It's like trying to pour water into a thimble while wearing mittens. I ended up with more gin on the counter than in the shaker. And then, the vermouth. How much is too much? I went with the "just breathe in the direction of the shaker" approach.
And shaking it? I felt like I was in a dance-off with the cocktail shaker, and the shaker was winning. I finally pour it into a glass, take a sip, and it hits me like a ton of juniper berries. Turns out, I'm not a mixologist; I'm a disaster artist.
So, lesson learned: if you ever see me offering you a homemade martini, just smile, take it, and discreetly pour it into a potted plant when I'm not looking. It's the only way we'll both survive the martini experiment. Cheers!

You know, I was at this fancy party the other day, and they were serving martinis. Now, I consider myself a sophisticated person, so I thought, "Why not? Let's try a martini." But folks, I quickly realized I'm not cut out for the martini life. First of all, they hand me this glass that looks like it belongs in a museum, not in my clumsy hands. I felt like I was holding the Mona Lisa, afraid I might accidentally spill it and ruin someone's evening. And what's with the olives? I get it, they're classy, but why are they staring at me from the bottom of the glass like judgmental eyeballs? I felt like I was being watched by the olive police. And then there's the dilemma of how to eat them. Do I use a toothpick, a fork, my fingers? I ended up awkwardly fishing for olives like a confused bear trying to catch fish with its paws.
But the worst part? The bartender giving me that judgmental look when I asked for it shaken, not stirred. Sorry, James Bond, I like my drinks without the added drama. Next time, I'll stick to a drink where the only decision I have to make is whether to say "on the rocks" or "straight up.

I recently went to a mixology class, thinking I could up my cocktail game. The instructor starts talking about martinis, and I'm excited, ready to become a martini master. But then he starts throwing around terms like "dry martini," "dirty martini," and "perfect martini." I felt like I stumbled into a martini-themed game of Scrabble. Dry martini? Isn't all liquid dry until you spill it on yourself? And dirty martini? Is that like a martini that just finished a mud run? And a perfect martini? Are we grading drinks now? Does it get an A+ for smoothness and a gold star for being delicious?
I left that class more confused than a chameleon in a bag of Skittles. I just wanted a simple martini, not a multiple-choice exam on mixology. Next time, I'll stick to ordering my drinks based on color and whether they come with a little umbrella.
