"There is no such thing as a quick martini," she retorted. She's right, too, because when you have one of them, you immediately want another.
The delicious Cosmopolitan martini I was served took my mind off the economy. When I left work, the Dow was down 250 points, and by the time I got home, it was down 450.
Just in case you need a martini later to take your mind off of financial woes, here's the recipe:
Cosmopolitan martini recipe:
1/2 oz Cointreau orange liqueur
1 oz vodka
juice of 1/2 limes
1 splash cranberry juice
Pour all ingredients in mixing glass half filled with ice, shake and strain into chilled martini glass.

Well, that's fine, just go ahead and LUSH IT UP while the rest of us are keeping our aging brains sharp with exciting Scrabulous games!
One day, remember, we'll be in that nursing home, and I'll tell the night nurse NOT to give you any more vodka until you agree to play your turn in Scrabble! (By the way, "vodka" on a triple-word square can get you huge points...)
Mmmm. I had so many Cosmos yesterday. I daresay I have the recipe memorised. I was making them by sight from the end and getting it just right.
There was a certain lack of triple sec/cointreau, so we substituted with Tesco Value whisky. :D
I thought you told me that you didn't have any money as a student to buy plain old sherry to use as a cooking ingredient in Chicken Meemers. But somehow you've found the dough for Cointreau?
*cough cough* Certain LACK of Cointreau! That stuff's bloody expensive.
étudiant, once when I was in your shoes and participating in an evening of tequila shots at the beach, we forgot to bring salt, so we ended up licking Doritos, slamming the shot and sucking on a lime. Very resourceful, I thought!
If you're who I think you are, you are an etudiantE, unless genders have been abolished...?
I have to admit I was wondering about this lack of -e too.
Very resourceful, Tequila Tess. I just hope you haven't given her ideas about another drinking binge, this time with tequila shots. I need her to actually get through university with a degree, not the DTs. :)
