Hahahaha!!!!!

We can probably chip in and buy you a belt to help hold up your knickers, if you are in danger of losing them ....

But, while we're on the topic of martinis, I do know that many purists get annoyed with me when I call a mixed cocktail type drink a martini, and they have a point. Properly, a martini is gin and maybe a bit of vermouth. An olive or a twist. My SeaBreeze Martini isn't really a martini at all, it's just served in a cocktail (martini) glass. Still, I love to call it that.....

So, I know I play fast and loose with the term martini just as I do with sangria, and I beg forgiveness for my transgressions from those of you who know better......
