When I was a teenager if you could order a real drink convincingly at a bar you wouldn’t get carded. I was watching an indie film one night with a Smirnoff placement and so there was a small exchange about a martini order. I rewatched that scene until I had the order down. It was a Smirnoff martini, 3 olives, a little dirty. I was able to order it without getting carded. Didn’t take long for a bartender to suggest I try Grey Goose instead. So then I was a 16 year old drinking Grey Goose Martinis with 3 olives, a little dirty. Got the nickname martini chick. Then I got older and tried things I actually like the taste. 

 🤣🤣😂🤣😂🫂 I could just imagine you taking notes ❤️‍🔥 amazing. One day I’ll order you a drink at the bar, watch me sweat trying to figure out what to say 🥲. I asked for rum and coke once - at uni I think it was - and he asked me which rum, and I said ‘the one pirates drink, please’ cos I didn’t know there was more than one. Also, why do they put dirty olives in the drinks 😭 is it to give it an earthy taste?

I recently learned why Bond likes it shaken not stirred 🔥 

 A little dirty in a martini just means a bit of olive juice added. I’ve also seen some people swish a martini glass with beer, which is actually delightful. The olives are as clean as bar olives can be and my favorite part. Last time I ordered a martini I think I had one sip and the olives while wondering how I ever stomached martinis.
