For Gimlets Headrick's might be OK but for Martinis it has to be Broker's....
Nice tray,

Is the next series going to feature vodka and orange juice?
Member
well I thought I was a neanderthal, but I guess not. Will someone explain it to us dummies? (pm me if you don't want to spoil it for future lookers)

James, gimlets are commonly made with gin.
Where did I put that tape measure...
Member
I only ever used gimlets to bore screw holes!! Gin grosses me out.

Maybe you need to be both a Neanderthal and a drinker. The drink is a gimlet (gin and either pre-sweetened lime juice or fresh lime juice plus simple syrup) and the other thing is a gimlet brace bit.

I guess I need to try Broker's. I'll see if I can find some.

Yeah, I'm a traditionalist. I think "vodka gimlet" is an oxymoron.

Maybe. Or Drambuie and Scotch.

And thanks for the compliment on the tray. It was part of one of my first woodworking attempts. Note the walnut piece at the top of the joint? That's because my first miter joints were so sloppy I wanted to cover them up. Then I decided I liked the looks of it, and I've used them on-and-off ever since, even when the joint doesn't embarrass me.

Michael,
I had to get my local RumRunners to special order it the first time but It's been on the shelf going on over eight years so someone else must like it as well. I keep it in the freezer with the Martini glasses, pour a little in the cold glass, float a drop or two of vermouth, put what ever lunch you like in the glass, and you have a Martini that will make you throw rocks at any bar made one.

I'm not a drinker,but being in constant pain,I do hit myself with a vodka and pepsi every night before I TRY to get comfortable in bed. Vodka has the least taste of anything I can think of,except for the unavoidable taste of alcohol. Does help knock me out,at least.
Funny,if I take a little bit during the day,it's most likely to give me a head ache.
