Blue dolphin...aka, water

When we were broke dumb college kids who somehow could afford a bit of bong food but nothing else, we always kept a gallon size jug of water in the dorm room fridge, along with styrofoam coffee cups.

We called them "Blue Marlins."


Tonight, I'm having a "Jimmy Demaret" martini. I read about this in James Dodson's wonderful 2004 biography of Ben Hogan. Martini made of equal parts Gin & Vodka, with a hint of dry vermouth.

When I was a gin drinker, being in the same room with vermouth was almost too close. Doubles with extra green olives. Yahooo!

I once went to the Bonefish Grill on Lake Union late on a Saturday night.

Ordered a Vodka martini, up. Watched the bartender make it. No vermouth. She serves it.

"There's no vermouth in this martini," I said, after taking a sip.

"We don't make them with vermouth," she says, adding, "We make them dry."

"If I wanted straight vodka, I would have asked." Sent it back.

She was clearly indignant. She made a new one and served it up.

I stiffed her on the tip because of her attitude.

Was I wrong ?

No idea. I would just order a double Bombay, rocks with two olives and no one ever got it wrong.
