His staff said he was a sloppy mixer because he was apt to dump orange juice, grapefruit juice, or anisette into his drinks too. He like to do his international negotiating over shared martinis.

The Cold War, White Lightning, Olive Soup, and See Through)is not just a drink. It is the soul of cocktail--a liquid icon. It is a transparent razzle-dazzle concoction that implies glamour, style, and edgy wit. Though a martini enjoys an evening at home, it gets invited to all the right parties, sports the most elegant accessories, and is surrounded by the most devoted movie stars, high rollers, statesmen and literary pundits. From it's humble beginings, this a first abrasive little drink has been [polished, praised, decorated, and lifted to nearly legendary status. Without prejudice it plays muse to heros, hedonists, rascal, and poets.

Nick did naughty things like shoot ornaments off the Christmas tree when he was tanked. Nora, rather than becoming annoyed, juist tried to catch up with Nick when she found him drunk on six martinis. To the waiter: "Six Martinis." To Nick: "Your not going to have anything on me."  |  IP: Logged Bob Maar (Maar stands for Maartini) Posts: 28608 From: New York City & Newport, RI Registered: Feb 2001 posted 12-14-2004 11:23 AM                        Rated G 1936: In My Man Geodfrey, David Niven played the part of a butler who sneaked sips of martini from his employer's serving tray.  |  IP: Logged Bob Maar (Maar stands for Maartini) Posts: 28608 From: New York City & Newport, RI Registered: Feb 2001 posted 12-14-2004 12:07 PM                        Rated G 1936: In The Major and the Minor,Robert Benchley (as Mr. Osbourne) gets to deliver the best line in the show: Why don't you get out of that wet coat and into a dry martini," he says to Ginger Rogers (as Susan Applegate),in a manner halfway between wry and lecherous.

Edgar Hoovertini Gin or Vodka Vermouth to taste Stuffed Olive Shake gin or vodka with cracked ice, and pour into martini glass. Add the stuffed olive "bug". Can you trust that man's martini? Hal Lipset testified in a 1965 Subcommittee hearing that he and his colleagues had developed small microphones and transmitters to replace the pimientos in olives, and had buried tiny copper antennas inside the swizzles. A Hand-held martini could work the room, recording snippets of conversations, or could be left at tables where people assumed they had privicy. Pretend that your Hoovertini is "bugged."
