As far as how much they cost in the bar, it can vary from $6-$8.

I'm more of a Jack and Diet Coke gal myself. My Jack and Diet MUST have a cherry though.

oh.my.god Those recipes are making me drool!

Rachel Ray was making pomegranate martinis on Oprah to show how to do a quick and easy holiday party. I bet that is good.

Well, it is a prereq if we're going to sleep in the same bed, but not if we're drinking. I can drink with anyone, gay or straight.

o.k. I've never had a martini.

BUT...but...I've had a cosmopolitan. BLAH!! my friend and I watched ALL of the episodes to sex and the city in like a 4 month period. I bought all the seasons, and neither of us had ever had a cosmo. SO...what better way to celebrate the reunion of Big and Carrie's love than go down to the local bar and have a cosmopolitan? oh, it was priceless to say the least. We both picked up our glasses, so proud that we had waited until the end. ....both with nervous looks on our faces-then took a big sip. Added sugar to it. Took another sip. Then passed it to the local drunk that has his own barstool. I'll stick with Bud Light thankyouverymuch!!

I'm afraid I'll hate it & don't want to waste the money if I won't drink it.

Based on the list of drinks you DO like, I can assure you, you probably wouldn't like a real martini. Gin and vermouth- not like a cosmo at all. I've never had one either, b/c I don't care for either of those liquors. Cosmopolitans are made with vodka, triple sec, lime juice, and cranberry juice. Very delish- with top shelf vodka, of course. I think a choclatini is also made with vodka, but also with Godiva and some kind of white chocolate. Damn, that sounds good right now!

Now *that's* a real martini! I used to have people ask me to make it FILTHY. At that point, you just pour a ton of olive juice in the drink.

I love martinis. My one real alcoholic weakness.

StrawberryMango Delight, Pink Coconut Cosmo, an Almond Joy (which is like a chocolate, coconut-y alcohol shake with a whipped cream rim), Razmopolitin, bloody mary-tini, Pineapple cosmo, a white cosmo (made w/white cranberry juice).....I can go on and on. I need to go to the martini bar....

I love the girly martinis....I had a "real" one once and my head nearly fell off. Anyway, I know its a little late, but here's a delish Christmas 'tini:

-1 oz vanilla vodka (Stoli is best)
-1 oz melon liquer (Bols or Midori is excellent)
-1 oz fresh squeezed lemon juice

Shake well with ice and pour into a glass with a deliciously sugared rim, then drop a tiny bit of grenadine into the glass. It will settle to the bottom, making a beautiful and tasty green and red martini! Mmmmm, so good.

And for those of you unsure about gin, just mix it with white grape juice or litchi juice. You'll be a believer

Most nice places in LA, the martini's are $10 and up

I've only had two different martinis and they both were in the same night. My boyfriend was out of town and at the time I still worked at a restaurant. So I thought lets eat and drink for free!! First off I had a Chatham Artillery Punch (catabawa wine, gin, vodka, rye whiskey, etc....) then I proceeded to have 3 Bombay Sapphire Martinis with a touch of dry vermouth and yes I got those because of the song. Then I had a Flirtini which is delicious!
Absolut
Chambord
Pineapple Juice
topped with Champange
Then I went home and passed out.
