Shaker Two: “Hi, what’s that martini with the Lillet and the St. Germain…? You know?? The Lillet site is giving my iphone error messages in French.”
Shaker One: “How civilized, hmmmm-might be the Parisian….lemme look it up……”
Shaker Two: “Use the search engine tool on the top of our blog!”
Shaker One: “Oh cool, I wondered if we had one of those…….ah yes, The Parisian- 2 shots voddy, 1 shot St. Germain, 1/2 shot Lillet Blanc.”
Shaker Two: “Excellent- the bartender got it right! Thanks Shaker One~”
Shaker One: “Have fun.”
*puts phone down, walks over to bar*
Shaker One: “Well I have to have a drink now, don’t I?”

Shaker Two here…. I arrived home this evening after a night out with the boss talking business, projections plans and whatnot, while consuming a disgusting amount of vodka. Not being in the mood for a dirty martini, I opted for one of my standby’s from the blog – the Parisian.
The aforementioned conversation truly DID take place as I was trying to remember the exact ratios of Lillet Blanc, vodka and St. Germain. Stupid flash sites were not cooperating with my iPhone (damned Flash) and I was really craving it.. so Shaker One was a drunken lifeline in this case.
As far as the aforementioned “search” function…look to your top right and you can do a search of the entire blog for ingredients, links, keywords, etc…. a very handy thing, indeed.
Many thanks to Shaker One for being there when I needed her.
