Ice? Heresy!'

I like a little more vermouth - say half a shot or so to two shots of Bombay Sapphire. The olive is either Kalamata or nothing.

My personal absolute all-time favourite cocktail though is a variation on the humble Kamikaze. Make it in the usual way but add a little simple syrup which has had either a chilli or (if fresh is out of the question) some chilli flakes standing in it for a few hours (it'll need to be stirred every once in a while). That syrup should be chilled for preference.

There's nothing better than hitting the deck in flames after a few Kamikazes after another cold winter day.

simply a shot of bourbon with a little blackberry brandy floated on top.

Bourbon is my staple drink, and I have had this.

...(to encourage you to have a few more, see the beauty in that?)

Without a doubt!! ****Warning! Do NOT do this with 101 Wild Turkey****

I decided to go with martinis again tonight.

I usually keep my shaker containing cubed ice in the freezer. Everytime I make a cocktail where I use this shaker, a reside of the coctail itself remaines in the bottom of the shaker when I return it to the freezer. About every month or so, I need to melt the "residue" out of the bottom of my shrinking shaker. After its melted; Its a cocktail of its own

For those of you all that are drinking martinis without ice: Now dont get me wrong, your allowed to drink the way you like. But you HAVE to have the Ice in the martini. Also, you can NOT keep your gin in the freezer.

Cacto

I tried this the other night with frozen sapphire and no ice, a garlic stuffed olive and a couple of pearl onions.....MIGHTY tastey:)

Ive started draining my olives and onions, and replacing their respective fluids with Sapphire. Much much tastier!
