My favorite is Grape Crush (also has vodka lucky bunni). But I am dying to try an Apple Martini (I've heard they are wonderful).
As for the smoking thing, I'm a reformed that used to be a 2 packer so I have to stay away!

Dirty vodka martini with extra olives. Using Grey Goose vodka (Thank you Peggy for that tip).
Does that qualify as a mixed drink? It does, right?

Dirty Martini - gin, straight up, must be in a martini glass

I know this is going to be a stupid question but, what is a "dirty martini". Is it just as you said, it's gin straight up? I've always wondered.

No it's not a stupid question. I didn't know myself until a few years ago.
It's a regular gin martini (as opposed to vodka martini) with a little brine from the olive jar added in. If you like olives you would probably like it. By straight up I mean no ice in the glass (it is strained). I've found that in ordering it I need to include everything to get it right.
A lot of people who don't like martinis really like a dirty martini. If you like olives try it sometime. You can also have a dirty vodka martini if you prefer vodka to gin.
Ever tried a chocolate martini? I'm not sure what's in them but it makes a divine dessert.

Josh,
So many yummy replies! Grape Crush has Chambord (raspberry liquor), vodka & either or lemonade/pink lemonade/or sour mix.....
I think it is much better with pink lemonade, you can also do them frozen! If you choose to do it frozen that use frozen lemonade instead, it helps a little. I'd give you exact measurements but it really is all to taste. I use close to 1/2 a glass of chambord...
I might have to print this thread. Lot's of new things to try.
Have a great night,
Lisa
