[QUOTE="glpease, post: 46004, member: 18"] Oh, that's easy. You just need a larger flask! My design neurons are working overtime, now. A Martini flask. Double walled, with a thermal pack between the two walls. A separate compartment for the olives - you don't want the martini to get cloudy - and a built-in stainless cocktail pick. Chill the flask. Make a pristine martini in the usual way, and pour it in. When you're ready, so is your martini. Transportable glassware in the proper size and shape is a little more challenging. I'm not really as much of a sot as it may appear... By the way, am I the only one [i]annoyed[/i] by the ridiculous trend towards absurdly large cocktail glasses? I saw a 15oz version the other day. Asinine! I have some beautiful cocktail glasses from the 1930s that are about 3oz; a bit TOO small, and not quite the right shape. It seems to me the pinnacle of the martini glass probably occurred in the late 1950s or early 1960s when people still wore neckties and jackets to parties. The glassware was elegant, and perfectly sized. Too small, you only get a few sips, or they end up so full that they become a spill hazzard. Too large, and the drink will warm up before you finish it. [/QUOTE]
