The Road Runner Martini

By: Marjie Martini

There are times in your life when it is all about the adventure. Opportunities present themselves and it is up to you, whether or not you want to take the chance and live on the edge for a little while. With adventure you are never sure what is going to happen- there are always elements of risk. This martini is risky as well and it is very hot: it is a complete adventure.

The Road Runner martini is a drink that packs a punch. It is a mixture of Pepper Vodka, Tequila and Dry Vermouth. You are probably saying "Wow!" You would have to be crazy to drink that! However, the part of this martini that makes it sizzle is the addition of the jalapeno stuffed olive. Yum! You might have to step out your box to try this one, but it is definably worth the trip. It is a lot like going on a road trip, it can be hot and sweaty and there is always the risk factor that you could end up with a broken down car or a broken heart.

My girlfriends and I where celebrating the return of our crazy ass friend, who had just arrive home from a huge road trip. She was a woman that was always on fire so it seemed quite fitting to order her the Road Runner martini. We were all listening intently to her tales of the open road when the martinis arrived. As she took her first sip she smiled and announced

“Ladies, this one will light your ass on fire!”

She kept sipping the Road Runner as her tales continued. She had started her adventure several months ago with a man that see the day before she left. He was a friend of friend and they clicked, so she locked herself in a car with him for 10 days. Was it a disaster? No! They had a total blast, both of them laughing so hard at times they where sure they had wet their pants. They had really interesting conversations, lots of great sex (that happened on day two) and, the best part, was the happy hour road pops. They where in Mexico, a country where you are allowed to drink and drive. However, in Mexico you are not allowed to be drunk and drive, it is a fine line that you should not cross but the road pops make for good entertainment value. The boy was fun but she was over him after a few weeks, so he flew home. She then did another road trip with some girlfriends, that trip was an ordeal, they ended up breaking down 3 times and finished their journey in the back of a Mexican truck drinking warm white wine and smoking cigarettes to help deal with the stress

During her time away she had fallen madly in love with a man that she had known for years, but had just recently reconnected with. They decided to make her return road trip together. The quote "traveling with someone will either make or break a relationship" was tested in this journey. It started out fantastic and quickly became the trip from hell! It was shocking, she thought that she really knew him but was frightened at the dark side of his personality that was revealed as the miles went on.

The boyfriend complained non stop, was negative and disrespectful towards her, was constantly nagging and the worst part was that he just kept spitting! It was so gross! After a long, hot trip tempers finally erupted and she blew! The result was a smashed coffee cup and then a solo 22 hour drive across Texas. A drive that consisted of her either hysterically crying or being completely scared out of her mind. There are lots of very scary people in the outback of Texas. It had been titled the "Thelma and Louise" tour. This was a tour where she needed a gun and a martini. Unfortunately, Louise had been replaced by her dog: the dog could not make the martini that she desperately needed.

We had all converted to the Road Runner martini and the laughter was endless as she told tale after tale about her adventure; how she had developed an addiction for bad gas station coffee, the cool people that she had met and the weird and interesting things she had seen. The best part was that she had seen all these places but had a renewed appreciation for the town and country where she lived.

Our girlfriend had found that you have lots of time to clear your mind when you drive and become very focused on what is important in your life. She had also learned that you never know what is around the next corner and that when life throws in a few challenges you just have to role with what is going on, because somehow it just always works out. It also amazed her that when people heard about her journey they constantly commented, that she was crazy for doing such a trip. It was just to out the box for most people. However, for her it really wasn’t that out of the box, it seemed perfectly normal to test her boundaries and never know what was going to happen next. Our girlfriend liked it risky and she loved the spark, this woman liked having her ass on fire! She truly was the road runner. But even though she liked the adventure she did admit there was no place like home, and the best part of home where her girlfriends.

Conclusion:

The Road Runner martini is like lighting your ass on fire. The blend of peppered vodka with Tequila makes this a martini that smolders. The heat will take you out of your box but sometimes you just need to take a chance and test your boundaries. The addition of the jalapeno stuffed olive can make or break this martini, it is your choice you can either indulge, and see what it is all about, or you can push it off to the edge. It is ultimately up to you! However, there will always come a point in your life where you will be challenged, remember to dive in and take the risky and raunchy road because it is always more fun to run like the Road Runner! Everyone should do it, even if it is just once in your life!
