Stirred, not shaken. Centini adds to the celebrations

The Centenary of Canberra shouldn’t call Phillip Jones a “social entrepreneur” – he is an entrepreneur profiting from a social environment. “Social entrepreneur” is a term that shouldn’t be devalued – e.g. Elliott Costello of Y Generation Against Poverty is a social entrepreneur. Social entrepreneurs bring about social change and social benefit. An online Schmooze mogul is not, even though his website is entirely useful and a good thing.

Why didn’t they use the glass from the martini set?

Basically, I just like vodka in whatever glass it comes. We can’t all be middle-class.

Hey, I like vodka martinis too! It’s just that they’re called *vodka* martinis – as opposed to martinis!

Mmmm, careful, or you’ll end up being the sort of person who points out that a tomato is a fruit on every possible occasion. Or that a mushroom is not a vegetable or a fruit. And that a drink can be naked, even when wearing olives…

That last one is more interesting, come to think of it.

By the way, an olive is a fruit.

If it has enough vermouth that you can see the tinge of red or gold, it has far too much vermouth. Just wave the vermouth bottle over the vodka.*

*Gin belongs in a gin and tonic.

I prefer naked martini’s – neat Gin (with olives)! 😛

To a martini purist, no martini contains vodka, if you want a vodka based concoction, you order a vodkatini.

Pfft. Vodka belongs in brightly coloured drinks favoured by teenage girls and a certain ex-Canberra Raider.

presumably, the Hyatt Centenary Supper Club and King O’Malleys, the Centenary pub

and beg to disagree, poetix, but while gin belongs of course in a g&t, a ‘vodka martini’ isn’t…
