Watermelon Martini
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
5 cups watermelon, seeds removed
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 1/4 cups vodka
2 ounces melon liqueur, optional
8 lemon twists, for garnish
Bring the sugar and water to a boil in a small saucepan and cook until the sugar has completely dissolved. Let cool.
In a food processor, puree the watermelon flesh. Add a little of the sugar syrup to sweeten, to taste. Pour the pureed watermelon into 2 empty ice cube trays and freeze for at least 4 hours.
In a blender combine the frozen watermelon cubes, more simple syrup, to taste, lemon juice and vodka, melon liqueur and blend until smooth. Pour into 8 frozen martini glasses and garnish with a lemon twist.

A good quality vodka, a whisper of vermouth and a dry olive served in a classic martini glass. Naturally the first 2 ingredients are poured into a shaker full of ice, stirred for a minute and poured out over a strainer.

My favorite is a Classic Manhattan:
Bourbon or Rye whiskey
sweet vermouth
Angostura bitters
At a bar, I like mine with Rye (Van Winkle) or Bourbon (Makers Mark), served straight up, dry (3:1), stirred with ice and strained into a cocktail glass, and garnished with a stemmed Maraschino cherry.
At home, I'll take mine sweeter (2:1)...using Bourbon (Rebel Yell, George Dickel, or Jack Daniels), on the rocks in an old-fashioned glass (lowball glass), with a "muddle" of cherries.
Wow...now I've got the jones for it at 2:30 PM...never too early for one, though...thanks!!! ;-)

classic martini - specifically solid high quality gin (eg Tanqueray 10) plus an particularly very small quantity of vermouth. Shaken in cocktail shaker with overwhelmed ice and served with a pair of green olives. version - upload small quantity of grand marnier and a twist of orange.

Gin. Stir with a couple of ice cubes. Pour into a chilled glass that has had vermouth swirled in it and dumped out. Add a couple of olives.

I prefer mine made with vodka instead of gin, and I LOVE blue cheese olives in mine - preferably 3! It has to be ice cold, too!
