'Sno worries, Senator Jack - we all get set in our preferences! But if I called this scandal Vodkagate, wouldja kill me?

Have two favorites;

The Mantini...it's made with beer (any type) instead of vermouth.

and " The Flame of Love Martini ".... was supposed to be Dean Martin's favorite....Orange peel is flamed into the martini glass:cheers1:

Angostura bitters are easy to find; orange bitters aren't as easy. I've not located any locally (yet; but, I had to have Lillet ordered, too....). But, I've got an eye open....

Foar all your bitter needs:

Peychauds & Regan's Orange Bitters are available from Sazerac/Buffalotrace distillery, click on food, then mixes.

I agree, a well made Chocolatini is the best.
