The Breakfast Martini

[Warbaby]

I awoke this morning in a somewhat grumpy mood which was not enhanced by my discovery that I was out of coffee. Being a resourceful sort of gentleman and one who is not unwilling to adapt to a less than ideal situation, I decided that I needed a bit of mood adjustment and mixed myself a martini.

I must say that it improved my outlook on the day considerably and I highly recommend it to all those blessed with an adventuresome spirit...

Breakfast martini? Unthinkable!

You should always have a bottle of champagne handy.

 

[MisterCairo]

IS there a wrong time for a martini?[huh]

The cost of living has gone up another dollar a fifth, I see.

I myself in the morning like a bloody mary.

Alcohol in the morning gives me a bad headache and makes everything boring.

Once whilst traveling in Turkey, I had a beer and Doritos for breakfast. Then I went to the Gallipoli Museum. I was actually bored, which is entirely unlike me as I love all history. I blame it on the beer.

Once in a while I love a bloody Mary at breakfast, though.

Give these recipes a try. Breakfast martinis at their best!

I love pork more than any other meat, but ... that ... is ... vomitacious.

You can go to "those" meetings also.

Espresso Martini

I've been known to enjoy an Espresso Martini in the morning:

1 shot espresso
1 shot decent vodka
1 shot milk
1/2 shot simple syrup

Delicious. Hey... it's always noon somewhere, right?

Thank you! Now I know what to have for breakfast before that meeting with my accountant in the morning.

E.B. White, back about 1937, wrote of reading some birdbrain magazine feature that recommended sillyass things to do to ward off the blues.

Following one such recommendation, White wrote, "I arose at 5 a.m. and mixed myself a Manhattan. It made the day."

And then, of course, we have the estimable H.L. Mencken:

In case you can't read the inscription, it's "Breakfast in the Free State! - 1927."

It is said that the Ramos Gin Fizz (a classic breakfast cocktail) was so popular, that around 1915 the Ramos brothers had hired 32 shaker-boys and it was still difficult for them to keep up with the orders in their saloon

Mr. McMillian of the Library Lounge at the Ritz-Carlton in New Orleans seems to make a nice Ramos Gin Fizz

Naah ... it was the Doritos.

My sentiments exactly...

Ramos Gin Fizz, the real breakfast of champions.

How about a morning Bucks fizz.
We have a slightly odd Christmas day tradition (been going about 4 years now) to have a Margaritas upon waking.

Mr. Bentley, sir, how did the tradition of morning margaritas in honor of Father Christmas begin?

With bated breath, I await your reply...
