Martini Monday

At the Horseshoe Tavern, Saturday before last.

Martini Monday

Bombay Sapphire & Dolin Blanc. Amazing what a difference really good vermouth can make.

Martini Glass

As Erik reminded me this morning, it's Martini Monday...so here's a slightly different take on a shot Erik posted last month. Bottoms up!

Martini Monday

Last Martini of the holiday season.

Long Time No Martini Monday

These drinks may or may not be martinis -- in fact, at least one of them might even be water, I really don't know -- but I sure liked how the late afternoon sun shone on them and through them. Isn't it just about happy hour where you are? Cheers!

Holiday Bowl

Seen on a drive in the East Bay with Mrs. G on Sunday. The actual bowling alley is closed down and for sale, but the sign lives on. For now, anyway.

Get In Here and Drink Your Martini

Dang, I almost forgot about Martini Monday! And I've had this for a couple weeks now.

Cheers!

The Man Behind the Martini

On the bottom floor of my building, a bar that's been closed for a while is being renovated. I caught this worker standing in the shadows, and thought this could be a good Shadow Shot Sunday entry. (It could have worked for Martini Monday, too, but I didn't want to wait that long.)

I wonder if all these shadow shooters are as impatient as I am?

Martini Mosaic Monday

It's time. It is SOOOOO time!

(This is from the most recent Friday Night Drinking & Shooting Club photowalk. A good time was had by all!)

Martini Monday

At a bar in Jackson, California.

Martini Monday*

*Well, it's a Monday for me anyway.

Martini Monday

In Santa Rosa, across the street from where I was getting my tire replaced yesterday afternoon...and the foremost thing on my mind was that big-ass Martini I was going to have as soon as I got home.

Not Really a Martini Monday

Yes, it is Monday, but this is actually just a chilled vodka with olives. (Shhh, don't tell Tom!)

One is good, two are better.

Martini Monday

Hey, it's cocktail time in Halifax. This is a coupla Martinis before being poured into glasses.

Martini Monday

Hey, it's cocktail time in the Maritime Provinces.

Update: yes, it's true: I am recycling my Martini Monday pic for Shadow Shot Sunday. Should anyone feel cheated by this, I will cheerfully refund the price of admission.
