Unlike an aperitif, which is soft and bitter and prepares your body for a meal, a Martini is a cocktail. A cocktail is a social anaesthetic. It marks the end of the work day by ensuring that you’ll be in no condition to return to work or to even discuss it coherently after drinking a few of them – it’s not socially acceptable to walk out the office and shoot each other with a tranquilliser dart, so instead we have a Martini.
Who knew?
Today is National Martini Day! Once again, the world seems to have fallen in line and now celebrates our National Martini Day today as well. Well, why not celebrate now.
It’s never too early for a martini, it just has to be GIN (preferably Bombay Sapphire) and bone dry (and for god sake, don’t swallow the toothpick after eating the olive!)
And so it goes
