White Heat Commando Martini's

Well on the subject of sunbed etiquette the choice was made after much advice. A huge vote pool joined in, next time I think I'll get txt messaging organised, e.g. vote C! for Commando, vote C=NO! for pants on. The vote result was three to one so the pants stayed resolutely off. My white bits seem reasonably unmoved by the decision so perhaps it was the right choice all round. We shall keep a careful check on the situation and ensure that you don't miss a detail of this fascinating top news issue.

I just know how much you care...

Cocktail of the month for September will be... Mint Martini Hoof (I claim name credit)

You will need

Zubrowka Vodka (Polish Bison Grass vodka)
Fresh Mint
Orange Bitters
A tiny touch of sugar to taste (though not in mine thanks)
Chilled Martini Glass (or two if in company)
Shaker
Ice...

Shake an un-sensible amount of the vodka with a dash or two of orange bitters, ice and a good couple or three sprigs of fresh mint.. shake well until your arms ache my pretty...

Strain into chilled Martini Glass and 'slap' a leaf of mint on your hand to slightly bruise it, float on top.

Drink
