Martini

About: “Shaken, not stirred.” Bond takes his with vodka instead of the traditional gin, but either way this is one classy drink, and one of the most recognized mixed alcohol cocktails on the planet.

What you’ll need:

• 5 parts Gin (or Vodka)
• 1 part dry vermouth
• olive (for garnish)

Directions:

1) Pour about 2 shots of gin and one half shot of vermouth into a chilled cocktail glass, and stir.

*Even though Bond likes it shaken, the traditional recipe calls for it to be stirred. Many bartenders will shake it in a cocktail shaker because of the infamous super-spy, but you can call them out on it because a cocktail shaker is thought to dull the vermouth (while simultaneously sharpening the gin by “bruising” the liquor). You can always order this shaken if you want, but be warned: that does not give you a license to kill.

Fairy Dust - All About Absinthe

The summer before my freshman year of college, one of my best friends made out with his beautiful, 30-year-old Swedish house sitter. All it took was Jamiroquai’s Traveling Without Moving and one shot each of a drink called absinthe.

Fortune might not favor all of us like it once did my friend, but this is not to say absinthe cannot play host to a good night. You probably have heard the stories from friends, or possibly even tried it yourself. Legend has it that this green, anis-flavored drink makes you hallucinate after a glass or two. This is true, but not so true.

Man Shoots Goat Because Wife Didn’t Buy Beer

Here’s a weird story we came across this week:

A man who was upset with his wife for not buying beer took vengeance by shooting one of the family’s two pet goats.

The 48 year-old man, Peter W. Mischler, was charged with mistreatment of animals, possession of a firearm while intoxicated and disorderly conduct with a weapon.

Apparently the guy came home from hunting and got angry at his 22-year-old daughter for letting the goats out and making a mess. Things escalated when he told his daughter to tell his wife to bring home some beer, but his wife refused. So he said he’d shoot the goat if she didn’t buy the beer…

After his wife arrived home, sans beer, she and the daughter heard four gunshots and went outside to find one of the two goats all shot up.

If I’m the other goat, I’m really hoping that guys wife listens next time.
