Total Prat
So, following the various tipster replies to my drinking conundrum, I hit the bars on Friday to try out a few new drinks. Was milliseconds away from ordering a Martini, when I saw Noilly Prat on the menu... which vaguely rang a bell as a particularly good Martini.
Classic semi-fact, which became primed and activated when the barman poured it and no mixing was involved. Just Vermouth on the rocks. Winston Churchill would have puked with shock. It actually wasn't that bad, but didn't really take much effect alcohol wise...
Next up was a Margarita. Another mis-step, as it was delivered in a Martini glass (my James Bond nightmares realised), and wasn't the frozen type I was expecting. After the set-backs I took a step back to the comfort zone with a couple of White Russians, and in the end it was actually a couple of large Gin & Tonics that did the trick. Perhaps I could quietly mutter 'slimline' when ordering...
