23. Doesn't matter that you just used the -tini ending!
The usage of -tini as the ending to a drink name simply belies the fact that people don't know what the fuck they're talking about.

The Martini is the Grande Dame of drinks, for one thing, and should be respected. But even beyond that, it's just lazy ignorant nomenclature to grab onto the -tini ending and use that in a drink name. Like crantini, and chocotini, etc. It's bullshit.

It's like developing a bunch of new dogs, none of which has any relation to the Labrador, but insisting that all the names end in -rador, just because Labradors might be popular or something at the time.

I know that you can do better than this silliness. You are much smarter than that.

Maybe "Burginouth". Or "Safehouse". Or "Bricklayer".
