Even the olive, while not liquid, is kinda mushy.

[-] danc4498@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Is a dehydrated olive a thing? I hate olives with a passion, but maybe that’s a thing my wife would like.

[-] OpenStars@startrek.website 2 points 9 months ago

When you get them on pizza they are kinda dried out, so I imagine so?

I ordered a mudslide from that guy and there wasn't a bit of mud in it

[-] phorq@lemmy.ml 33 points 9 months ago

Well yeah, it slid off...

I ordered a blowjob and just got slapped across the face

Well, duh, to make a dry martini, you are suppose to dry all the liquid ingredients in a tumble dryer first before you mix them, of course.

Why else do you think James Bond always asks for his "dry" vodka martini to be "shaken, not stirred"?

As you obviously understand the best way to properly dry a martini (what kind of loon would line dry the component liquids), you have my vote!

I was wondering this too, so I looked it up

From Google:

First, 'dry' indicates that very little vermouth has been added to the cocktail, so the gin is the primary focus. The typical ratio is 6 parts gin to 1 part vermouth. However, order 'extra dry' and you'll get the slightest splash of vermouth, or even just a glass-coating wash.

[-] TheSlad@sh.itjust.works 30 points 9 months ago

When talking about alcoholic drinks, "dry" is just the opposite of sweet. Vermouth has a slight sweetness to it, so use less vermouth to make the drink "dry".

Personally I like my martinis "dirty" (extra olive juice), with a good amount of vermouth. Sweet and salty with the floral notes of the gin in the background. If I wanted to just taste the gin then I'd put it in a shot glass and drink it straight instead.

[-] MimicJar@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

I just want to second the dirty gin martini.

I've never been a fan of the martini, but dirty gin is excellent.

Alcohol culture...

[-] Kalkaline@leminal.space 10 points 9 months ago

Gin, you want gin in a fancy glass

[-] psud@aussie.zone 1 points 9 months ago

Wave a sealed bottle of vermouth near it

Slow your roll there, cowboy!

It's just the mouth parts of animals like rats and stuff.

Type of fortified (i.e. with added spirits) wine flavored with herbs

[-] Chuymatt@beehaw.org 0 points 9 months ago

I think it is fairly foul. It doesn’t seem to add much to cocktails and adds a bitter aftertaste.

[-] psud@aussie.zone 1 points 9 months ago

That is a feature, not a bug

[-] psud@aussie.zone 2 points 9 months ago

My city has a "no straight spirits" rule for bars, it's a failed attempt to stop binge drinking

So I would order whisky on the rocks, hold the ice

Were I a gin fan it would be a "perfectly dry martini"

The bar staff agree the rule is stupid and are usually happy to work around them. Binge drinking in bars hardly happens anyway as it is too expensive, we have very high alcohol taxes, except on wine.

My buddy went to the bar at university and asked for a manhattan to see what they'd do, they handed him a bud light.

Pro tip: Use molten lava. Lava is a liquid, but I don't think anyone describes it as "wet".

[-] Tlaloc_Temporal@lemmy.ca 10 points 9 months ago

Lava doesn't adhere to a surface like water, it won't climb the walls of it container slightly. That is to say, it won't wet a surface, like water or flux will.

At least I don't think any kinds of lava or magma do. Maybe there's a variety that does?

[-] ivanafterall@kbin.social 7 points 9 months ago

Water is just the lava of ice.

[-] barsoap@lemm.ee 4 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Maybe there’s a variety that does?

Magma from borax, lime, or galena? All are definitely minerals and definitely fluxes.

[-] saltesc@lemmy.world 21 points 9 months ago

Idiot. You're supposed to mix a nartinit, drink it, and give her the dry glass. Bro probably just cock blocked himself.

[-] henfredemars@infosec.pub 6 points 9 months ago

When your dick is a non-orientable, self-intersecting manifold.

[-] thegreekgeek@midwest.social 18 points 9 months ago

As a bartender this is always a fun one when training lol. Perfect teaching moment.

[-] happybadger@hexbear.net 17 points 9 months ago

Martini, extra dry, wet on the side, gaseous and plasma forms in secure containers.

[-] NoisyFlake@lemm.ee 4 points 9 months ago

If it's not on the side, I'll send it back.

[-] robocall@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

Add additional liquids to make a liquor dry. It's practically chemistry!
