They seem so good in the movies, but actually taste mostly just like straight vodka, which most people aren’t going to enjoy.

    I do like a gin martini, but as a tequila drinker, nothing beats a dirty Tequila Martini.

      God that sounds disgusting. I think, for the first time in 4+ years of sobriety, I actually feel genuinely sad for not being able to try that one out. It sounds so awful it must be good.

        Hey, stay strong brother. That one drink isn’t worth giving up your progress. I don’t know you, but I’m proud for you.

      Martinis do not involve tequila. That would be a different drink. When you change the single largest ingredient by volume you have a new drink

        Gin Martini

        Vodka Martini

        Martinis is plural. You can make Martinis with any clear spirit. Whether or not you make it again is a different story.

          If I make a Manhattan with Scotch did I make a Manhattan or did I make a different drink?

            You’d have a Scotch Manhattan.

            If you make a margarita with scotch, you’d have a scotch margarita.

            We’re not mixologists designing new drinks.

            I’ve made tequila with clamato juice, did I make a Tequila Cesar, or is it a different drink??
