I don't actually have any recipes because Kyle mixes them for me, but they all include vodka. Can't stand gin.Apple pucker, raspberry pucker, Cointreau – all good ingredients. Not necessarily mixed together though.And thanks for visiting me!

Please. I would never kick you off. You're the correct one. I'm the one who makes made-up, wacked-out drinks and considers spiked fruit juice a martini.

erm, I like olives. in fact, I like olive *juice*. in my martini. with gin. Sapphire. I am the quintessential dirty-Sapphire-martini girl.I still like your blog, though. and I'm hoping you won't kick me off when you discover my profound adoration of gin and olives.

Basil in a gimlet!??!? I am both revolted and intrigued. I must try it.

It's not made with gin, but it's served in a martini glass; the rare Italian gimlet. Vodka, lime juice and basil.

Oh, dear. you see, the ONLY reason my favorite drink, other than a gin and tonic, is a martini is because of the olives you get to eat while drinking it! however, since i don't often buy olives lately i've been enjoying a nice frozen fancy glass (i keep them in the freezer) filled mostly with some bombay sapphire gin and just a splash of blueberry pomegranite juice! Yum. by the way, i'm very impressed with the homemade peach juice.
