Garlic stuffed olives...

Post by Cowboy Joe »

....are in my mind, the great martini garnish ever developed. They're a tasty snack on their own....soaked in gin, no finer bite sized drunkard snack exists, in my book. If you haven't tried them, I urge you, as an officer and a gentleman, to add them to your bar.

I'd love to have a martini right now. Between the fridge dying, the bill to repair it, the thought I might lose quite a bit of meat, Small Fry's sleepover and the fact that I woke at 0630 on a Saturday thinking it was still a work day.... I need a stiff drink with fantastic garnishes! Have you tried them stuffed sun dried tomatoes?

I've yet to try them....but next time I shop for some of the finer foodstuffs, I'll put them on my list to get.

The fridge situation must be rough.....when I get to thinking about the things that I really use, I cannot help but conclude that refridgeration is the finest technology man has developed to date....

Garlic stuffed is ok, but there's also:

Blue cheese stuffed (martini becomes "oil slick")

Jalapeno stuffed

Habenero stuffed

Blue cheese is good.....I'm not really a fan of the pepper stuffed olives in everything, but in some gins they work very well. Also with potato vodka....

Go to Walgreens, CVS, Walmart, etc and get a plastic bottle that has a fine spray top (ie tube style perfume carrier). Fill with vermouth, keep it in the fridge. When you make your martini, chill glass in freezer while you're getting the shaker/mixer all ready with your gin (or gawd forbid vodka) and ice. Two sprays of vermouth in the chilled glass should do ya and then put your gin in. It should be just right for the extra dry kind. I got a buddy that likes to have it float on top but you get the idea - play with it! Cheers!

I have two of those on a toothpick in my Bloody Hillbilly* right now. Highly recommended.

On a side note: I am ludicrously proud of this Bloody Mary mix. I added freshly squeezed tomato juice to some organic tomato juice from the natural foods store. Freshly grated horseradish, bottled creamy horseradish, and lemon zest. Fresh lemon and lime juices. Garlic powder, celery and onion salts, Lea & Perrins, bitters, Cholula hot sauce, freshly ground black pepper. I don't know if I should drink it or fuck it. The sweet heat plays off really well against the caramel in the Knob Creek.

Garnished with spicy pickled okra and garlic stuffed olives. Making my housework much more palatable.
