If I'm out of the large garlic stuffed olives, I drop in 3 of the small olives

It might be all over, but it hasn't made it to this fly over state yet

Martinis don't need many ingredients
It's primarily for Bloody Marys.  I should have called it a Bloody Mary bar.

Incidentally, the Coke Museum in the ATL is fairly interesting.  It's basically in the same area as the CFB HoF, which also is pretty well done.

A "Big Thing" around here is a "Vodka Bar", which is not just a bar, but a place in a restaurant that has it's own ingredients.  They bring you a shot of unflavored vodka and you make your own, going up to the bar which has all sorts of makings on it.  I guess this is all over now.

It's like bagging your own groceries and pumping your own gas, which you can't do in NJ.
I suppose I could get into pouring my own shots

Yeah, places around here have been doing that for brunch for a few years now.  I don't like tomato juice, so anything bloody mary related doesn't appeal to me.

I don't care much for tomato juice at all, but I've found...... if you put enough Tito's in it with some spices and veggies, it's not bad in the morning.  Seems to pair well with a hangover

Colabeer is something you can get in Germany.  I'll stick with the Marzens and Hefeweizens and Doppelbocks, thanks anyway.
Coming up with that in Germany of all places would warrant a Water Boarding.As you proficiently pointed out there are much better choices.Good to be getting away from bourbon,scotch,wine,vodka and champaign snobs and to the righteous stuff

Amen, brutha!
Speaking of the righteous stuff, I believe it is time for a Live Oak Oaktoberfest beer.  Won't be around much longer...

I prefer Tanqueray to Bombay, and really like Tangueray Ten as a flavored vodka.

Sapphire is not my preference at all. Hendrick's is pretty good flavored vodka.
Vodka? I've only known about Hendrick's gin. I never used to like gin, but now I do. Not a martini guy but Hendrick's alone or as a G&T is special.
My bar tends to have:
a single-malt or two (Usually one of the Glens- and/or Oban)
Hendrick's
Pernod Absinthe (for "Deaths in the Afternoon")
Plain vodka (for Bloody Marys)
Bourbon (Makers or Woodford Reserve)
And this "Bramble" vodka from a local bloomington distillery that the wife likes with tonic or mules.
Sometimes Bitters and Vermouth for mixing.
Then Two-Hearted and Cava (for the Deaths in Afternoon) in the fridge and, presto, everything I'll ever want.
