[QUOTE="glpease, post: 97929, member: 18"] I was in Richmond, at a show one year, and tried to get a martini at the local steak house. It was actually really funny. The waitress was adorable, and the dangerously short skirt she sported did more than a little to enhance her charm. I didn't mind her coming back repeatedly in an attempt to get my drink right... I ordered a Bombay martini. Off she went. A few minutes later... "The bartender wants to know how to make a Bombay martini." I explained it was just a martini made with Bombay gin. "Okay!" Off she went. A few minutes later... "We don't have Bombay gin. Just Tanqueray." Okay. That's fine. Off she went. A few minutes later... A rocks glass, with rocks, is presented, containing what I presumed was gin and vermouth, with an olive on top. "Can I have this strained into a cocktail glass, please?" "Okay!" Off she went. A few minutes later... The same rocks glass, sans ice, now bearing a now innocuous, hopelessly watered down, but strained version of whatever had come the first time. "Thanks, love." I decided to order a beer. [/QUOTE]
