Poll question: I just invented a new drink. Help me name it
Here's what's in it:
3 oz. Bombay Sapphire Gin


1 oz. Bulleitt Bourbon


Dash of extra dry vermouth


Pour over ice. Shaken not stirred. Martini glass with 3 almond-stuffed olives for garnish.

Quite nice and smooth!

10. Well
Bourbon is what God sips, and Gin is Satan's swill, so you've already created a theologically unsound drink.

Then you take the fact that you've destroyed a perfectly good Manhattan. You should call it a 9/11.

24. LOL! "Theologically Unsound" - I like that!
And the idea of calling it a Falwell. Except that if that was the name, I wouldn't touch it, for fear of being tainted.

Though I'd happily throw it down the sink if it were a Falwell.

maybe "Falwell's Pedophilia".

34. Honey, the Diety sips unblended scotch. And gin tastes like Christmas...
Also, I noted the sweet vermouth. It's a shame to screw up a good Manhattan. :D

15. Anything ending in -tini is blasphemous to the Martini
Edited on Fri Jan-14-05 11:04 PM by Rabrrrrrr
Goddammit, a Martini is a cocktail - cocktail is the meta-category, not Martini!!!

Jesus, people, please get this straight, and stop equating Martini and cocktail.

Martini is a specific - like Labrador.

Cocktail is a category - like dog.

STOP THE MADNESS PEOPLE!!!!

20. Yeah, but I didn't call it a martini
It would be different if I called it a bourbon martini. I didn't.
I'm not using martini, just the -tini ending.

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".

36. I voted other.
It doesn't belong in a martini glass. It's a COCKTAIL not a MARTINI. There is a big difference.

And I have a name for it, but I can't tell you, I'm a mom person.

There's several drinks that use them.
BTW what is a "mom person"?
