CV, you wrong me, though it were better if you were right. My daily Sundowner, drunk while dinner is getting ready is:
3 oz Beefeater Gin
1 1/2 oz Wolfschmidt Vodka
1 Tablespoon of Noilley-Prat Dry Vermouth
All poured into a shaker full of ice, and then shaken, hard, 50 times, no more, no less. Then strained into a chilled glass with a stuffed Spanish olive marinated in jalapeno juice for at least a day, preferably longer. Then wine with dinner and Scotch afterwards. That is about enough to send me to bed with a smile on my face.
