The Only American Invention as Perfect at the Sonnet

Bernard De Voto

You can no more keep a martini in the refrigerator than you can keep a kiss there. The proper union of gin and vermouth is a great and sudden glory; it is one of the happiest marriages on earth and one of the shortest-lived. The fragile tie of ecstasy is broken in a few minutes, and thereafter there can be no remarriage

Americas most lethal weapon. And slightly cold on the stomach

Earnest Hemingway

I had never tasted anything so cool and clean they made me feel civilized.''

Ian Fleming "A dry martini," Bond said. "One. In a deep champagne goblet." "Oui, monsieur." Just a moment, Three measures of Gordons, one of vodka, half a measure of Kina Lillet, Shake it very well until it's icecold, then add a large thin slice of lemon peel. Got it? "Certainly, monsieur." The barman seemed pleased with the idea. "Gosh, that's certainly a drink," said Leiter. Bond laughed. "When I'm...er...concentrating," he explained, "I never have more than one drink before dinner. But I do like that one to be large and very strong and very cold and very well-made. I hate small portions of anything, particularly when they taste bad. This drink's my own invention. I'm going to patent it when I can think of a good name."
