This is best if you have an actual martini glass to drink it out of. You shake a bunch of gin, a little vermouth, a little olive juice and a couple olives and ice in a shaker. Strain it, drink it with the olives.
Caution: not a good idea to drink a bottle of red wine on top of it and then try to play your cello, because you might get the bright, drunken idea to just, you know, lean your cello against the chair while you look for some sheet music. If you do this, your nice new cello will slide over and fall onto the floor, which is tiles laid in a layer of cement over concrete over brick. If you’re lucky, it will only get a couple dings and a scratch.
after you drink that much, the only actual appropriate behavior is to write really long virtually incoherent emails to everyone you know, telling them long stories and mentioning how much you love them, or best of all how much you love them even though they Broke Your Heart and Everything, and confess a few other things too while you’re at it.
then in the morning, you’ll wish you had smashed the cello over your head.
perspective. i’m just saying.
ah. so erm, how is the cello? hopefully only suffering just a scratch…
oh you didn`t did you? I`ve got a night off the cello who is in hospital getting the Salzburg flood cracks fixed and your cocktail sounds rather appealing!
