It started with a Martini. Not a very good Martini, but back then I knew no better. Some years later I misunderstood a doctor's advice to avoid beer as an instruction to drink more cocktails... at least, that's my story.
I suspect my story will also end with a Martini, but that one will be spectacular.

I had to add a dash more Drambuie before it registered. Nice Scotch old fashioned.
Enjoyable. Gives me hope I will one day finish this bottle of banana liqueur.
If you have a half-decent champagne to hand and enjoy a dry martini, this is a perfect way to ruin both.
Somewhere in the melee of whisky, spice and ginger, with the right amount and type of sweetness, is God's own cocktail. Pray we discover it.
