There Is No Chocolate In A Martini !!

I've covered this ground before, and do so again as a public service. 

The business section of today's Douchepatch had a big spread on a new Houlihan's (yawn) restaurant.  The article showed the photo shown here, described as Houlihan's "martini" flight -- a sampler of "Key Lime, guava, and chocolate Martinis."    


Just like there is no crying in baseball, there is no goddam chocolate in a martini!!!  Putting some nouveau concoction in an up martini glass does not, repeat NOT, make it a martini.

One more time.  An authentic martini is 2-3 oz. of chilled gin or vodka, served up or on the rocks.  It may include a little dry vermouth, if you insist, but just a little.  It is garnished with a twist of lemon, or an olive.  That's a martini.  Under no circumstances does it involve a wedge of fruit or sugar on the rim.

Guava.  Jesus!
