The weirdest drunk I've ever been on TVR's. I walked out of the pub for fresh air, fell flat on my face then got back up like nothing happened and carried on. Agreed, never again.
Haha! It amazes me that we take gin, which tastes like hell straight, and then mix it with tonic water, which tastes like licking a battery and we go "ouuuu delicious put cucumber in it"
There's an old film where Kay Walsh offers Joan Fontaine a gin which is 'very dry' as they have no tonic. It wasn't even done as a joke, just a nice refreshing drink (no ice).
I used to love Campari and orange when I was feeling fancy on a Saturday at the discotheque. I also liked a cocktail that basically tasted like alcoholic toothpaste.
Saw a recipe for the 'perfect Martini' that included a piece of crumbly, aged Danish blue cheese squished inside an olive' which you'd stir the drink with. I remain unconvinced.
I’m a bit like that with all cocktails
- this one’s a small drink like drain cleaner
- this one’s alcoholic but creamy
- this one is so sweet it’ll trigger diabetes
I think I had one proper martini in my life I actually enjoyed. By the time someone has described the taste notes of anything to me they are usually already floating around my brain
I am a bit of a basic bitch - I like cocktails sweet or sour.
Yeah, I love olives but they can fuck right off with olive juice in martini. One of the few things that can make double booze taste worse. It adds salt yeah, but also mega ick.
I think the trick is to treat them like Piers Morgan, and only consume once you are already drunk.
That way you can't taste it or feel the burning sensation, and you won't remember it the following morning.

Anyway, I just saw a picture of a martini and it reminded me of the one time I tried a martini and it made me want to have my head removed x

I speak as someone who, with a friend, between us once worked our way through a cocktail menu.* Each was bloody lush!

Bought some vermouth and I agree, they all taste like paint stripper
