It's fruit.
Any cunt who even considers putting celery near one is a massive flid who should be shot in the face with a musket.

Ohhhh man I love a good Bloody Mary.
I can't decide if I love them or espresso martinis more. :(

I had a tobacco cocktail in Sydney
I can't remember how it was made but it had a cuban tobacco leaf rolled up as a stirring stick. fucking lovely it was.

That sounds rather good.

It also contained enough nicotine to down a horse.
Getting non-smokers to try it was a revelation.

That sounds interesting. I've heard of something like that.
I love cocktails so much and I'm starting to miss bartending. I may just have to set up a bar at home. I'd like one of wheels, with a bamboo theme.

I am happy to be the guinea pig for your 'creations',
particularly if they involve that Van Gogh shizzle.

I'm looking for recipies as we speak.
That vodka is excellent, I might have to get a few more flavours in.

We built a bar in my PhD house
admittedly that was because two of us were running a bar on the side which gave us access to everything we needed, but still - the defining piece of genius was one of those twin-paddle cooling machines for fresh orange juice that meant you could make cocktails in serious bulk. Like, 8 litres.

I will have to make you one the morning after a bash.
They have saved my life many a time.

Why don't I get this service?
I feel slighted.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Thu 1 Sep 2011, 9:42, Reply)

Because you're lucky enough to live with me.
That should be more than enough.

Ah, the classic female ploy.
Yes, giving up the ability to sit around in our pants with the heating full on, surrounded by crisp bags and drink cans with films/games/sports constantly on is definitely worth a lifetime of nagging and washing up.

All men think this.

Games?
Sports?
Crisps?
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Thu 1 Sep 2011, 9:53, Reply)

In your case, Bach and drugs.

( Kroney, Thu 1 Sep 2011, 9:54, Reply)

Ahh, sounds good to me!
I think that trip to the pub after Blousie's saved my life.

Very much so

Monty will shoot me in the face with a musket for saying so ...
... but in my book, a Bloody Mary isn't complete without lime juice and celery salt.

Garlic salt is an acceptable substitute for those of a shooty nature though.

Is 'your book' ‘How to Ruin Classic Drinks’ by A. Bender?

The only time I have lime is a slice of it with whisky and ginger
All the better if it's this one
