  • This one doesn't have any funny comments on it :(

  • you said it bruddah, 50:50 is the way to go. not only have you shattered the ice, but you've shattered the myth about the wet martini. a straight gin martini is rather harsh and biting (even w/plymouth), but a fiddy is a good way to get your plaster on and stay in it for the long run.

  • and now comes the time to get more sophisticated in the ways of beard maintenance 0:18

  • Where do I buy this "really good ice" she speaks of? Is it enough to just freeze really good water or am I oversimplifying the matter?

  • perfect martrini!!!

  • @GFonk16BIT yeah, I think you're way off here, dude. She's not trying to say "fifty". Besides, if you look at the video she pours one measure of vermouth in but more than one measure of gin (not clear how much). So whatever it is, it ain't fifty-fifty.

  • @GFonk16BIT do you have any idea who you're talking about?? fiddy:fiddy is the name of the drink. It's tongue in cheek. Audrey Saunders can do no wrong man

  • So you've washed your hands before you touched the ice. Have you?

  • Stupid woman! There is a letter 'F' in the word fiFty (50).Learn how to speak English properly Grr.

    Nice martini though

    fiddy please...
