I had an espresso martini for the first time last night.

[Beware the Beast Man]

It was fantastic- after the liquor buzz wore off, I rode a nice caffeine buzz into the wee hours of the morning. :)

It was Absolut Vanilla vodka, Creme de Cacao, and Starbucks espresso. :9

2. I'm jealous.

I haven't had alcohol OR caffeine so far in '06.

I'll have to live vicariously through you now.

5. You poor thing.

Regarding the living vicariously through me part...you poor thing...

6. That sounds harsh

But I'll take your word that it was fantastic. :hi:

7. I had a couple at The Times in downtown Minneapolis

the summer of 2004.

Goooooooood stuff!

8. Oohhh, I love those...

I had one at a bar in Seattle that had a (refrigerated) shot of espresso, Starbucks coffee liqueur, Godiva dark and white chocolate liqueurs, and chocolate vodka. Mmmmm....

10. That is NOT a martini.

It does sound yummy, though.

**Martinis contain gin and the vaguest suggestion of vermouth. Anything else is a "martini."

on edit: That drink sounds more like a White Russian; why do restaurants think they have to call every trendy concoction these days a martini? It's criminal, I tell you.

11. I'm guessing this is after the "Brokeback Mountain" viewing

:o

12. But did it have

an olive in it?
