  1. Interesting links, but what I want to know is: what did you put in that martini?

    Or didn´t you wash the glas?

  2. Must be a new drink that we've not heard of, Dorte. A Glaswegian speciality, or something. Not that I've heard of very much at all, of course.

  3. LOL at Glaswegian speciality and not washing the glass :o)

    It has some of the briny stuff that olives come in - just gives that extra added olive taste.

  4. Not washing the glass - I think I could live up to that.

  5. Hmm, Don't tell Mum, I have been known to have the odd Martini without the additives, I think it was called Gin in those days. It never gave me a headache, like Brandy or that Scottish falling over water.
