Sandy: We're scheduled to meet on Dec. 6th, Sat. nite at 7:30 PM. We're expecting between 10 -15 people. After the event, we'll be sure to post a "review." I'm sure it'll be a lot of fun!

Yes, Gail, pleeeaase be sure to post any pics, too!

Hope all you lucky Maddicts have a really fun time there in NYC.

Swig down a rye or two for me---"on the rocks", that is how Don takes his, right?

Remember Don ordered an "Old Fashioned" at the bar in "The Jet Set?" I'm sure that Steve (a/k/a "Old Fashioned") will be sure to order one of those. I may have Dubonnet with a twist, in honor of Bobbie Barrett!

On the other hand, I may just stick to my usual glass of Chardonnay (and be like wine-loving Betty, my favorite).

Sorry about the date! I thought it was November 6. At 7:30 on 12/6, I'll toast all of you with an Old Grand-dad and water, which is what I drank in 1962.

There are scads of us out here who would love to be with you.
Someone, please take a camera!!! And a notebook to record the screen names!

Looking forward to the Report!!!

Oh, how I wish I could join you all - sounds like such fun! Somebody drink a gimlet for me - I've never had one in my life, as I am not a drinker, but after the last few weeks, I am ready to start. Besides, Betty had a gimlet and it seemed to work out O.K. for her, hmmmmm? Just what is a gimlet anyway?

Please smoke a few packs of Lucky Strikes and drink several martinis for me. I hope you have AT LEAST three dozen oysters, but skip the stairs and take the elevator. A hearty "Cheers" to all of you! ;o)

zerelda, a gimlet is gin and lime juice but not sure of the proportions.

It's a really simple and refreshing cocktail, I do remember that.

Anyone know the recipe?

Hope to see some of you there on December 6! I might have to pass on the oysters and Luckies, but Dubonnet with a twist sounds perfect - it worked for Bobbie!
Will bring the camera for posterity.

Oh hell, everyone who shows up should just pass around a jug of Ripple or Boone's Farm---do they still even make those brands?? lol

Anyone remember "wine coolers"?--- yuck, but we swilled them down and thought they were yummy---"all those years ago", right?

Hey all, I was just looking up cocktail recipes online and came across a vodka gimlet...it sounds good.

Never much liked gin. Usually would order a Vodka Collins...back when I drank "hard liquor" ha.

Nowadays I'm like Gail up there...I do love my wine! lol

SC Fan: "Wine Coolers!" Remember "white wine spritzers?"

When I used to drink "hard liquor" I would sometimes have a Screwdriver or Vodka & Tonic.

Remember Harvey Wallbangers? God, were they potent!

I've heard of Harvey Wallbangers...what's in them?

I once had a "Hurricane" at Pat O'brien's in New Orleans (1970's) and didn't know what all was in them...I went into a dress shop after drinking one and remember reaching out to look through the dresses hanging there and next thing I knew I was holding on and trying not to fall into the rack! I got myself outside in the air and vowed never to have another "Hurricane" again.
They taste like lemonade...but are definitely NOT.

A Harvey Wallbanger is a Screwdriver with Galliano. Delicious, but lethal.

I am looking forward to our Maddicts shindig but I am going to be selective with what I drink. I don't think an old fashioned will sit well, I don't have a cast iron stomach like Don or Roger.
I'll opt for a vodka tonic or white wine...
Harvey Wallbanger!? Those bring back memories of being a pre-teen and sneaking a sip of one during the adults cocktail hour.My best friends mother used to make those and we'd try to sneak a drink when she wasn't looking.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the notorious "Long Island Iced Tea," a mixed drink with lethal clout! Not for the faint of heart!

Mix equal parts (1/2 oz.) of vodka, gin, rum, tequilla, and triple sec. Add 2 oz. of sour mix and a squirt of cola. Top it off with a slice of lemon or lime.

After imbibing, don't drive, operate heavy machinery, or take the subway. Collapse into the nearest taxi.

Drink&Smoke this is for you!

You know me too well, remembering! ;o) Long Island Ice Teas are one of my favorite drinks. Those babies are lethal and I think they were invented to help us tolerate family get togethers. LOL A couple Long Island Ice Teas and it is definately a taxi ride for me. Thanks for the laugh, darling. Cheers! ;o)

SCfan, you have a way with words! ;o)

Hello, all:

I hate to promote my own posts, but I've done a little theme song for you Manhattan Maddicts to close your P.J. Clarke's meeting with. You can find it under "We Need A Little Christmas Now!"

I pledge all royalties to the good of the Association.

I don't think they make that stuff anymore SCfan. Did you say a gimlet is just gin & lime juice? Whatever it is, it sure mad Betty warm & fuzzy inside! I like that Sandy, it's funny.

I am soooo jealous. I'll be in Chicago, but if I could go I would wear a girdle.

Yes sound's like you will all have fun there.
@Remembering I do remember the Long Island Ice teas. They were so good you didn't know what hit you. Two were the limit.

@Drink&Smoke how do you make a dirty martini?
Thanks.
