Martinis at Midnight

The Fresh Start Martini

The Fresh Start Martini

As always insight comes to me in the latest hour of the evening. This evening was a night of celebration. It was not a birthday or anniversary; it was the celebration because the curse had been lifted and my girlfriend could start her life fresh. We therefore needed a martini that was celebratory. Something that screamed, ‘Yes! It is finally over and I can start again!’ Well, we found it. This martini is truly something that makes you want to get up and celebrate.

The Fresh Start is a sake martini. I realize that I am on a bit of a roll with trying different martinis, but always remember that the classics can never be replaced. Not a lot of people have tried Sake; it is mainly a west coast sushi thing. Now, Sake on its own is an acquired taste and the taste can be similar to moonshine. However, when you mix the Sake with Lychee liqueur and Ginger liqueur you get an amazing sensation. This martini is shaken vigorously with ice and poured into a chilled martini glass. When it is presented it is all white with ice crystals and a big white lychee nut ball on the bottom of the glass. This martini is fresh without being tart, and the lychee blends just the right amount of sweetness that enables you to drink this one all night. The crystal and white of this martini just screams celebration! This is what we planned to do all night long..

As we had our first sip, we settled in for the explanation of what had caused the release of the curse. By the glow on my girlfriend’s face I could tell it had something to do with great sex.

“The curse that had been lifted was the XEX Sex Curse!”

This is the curse that is placed on people when you end a relationship in which you have had great sex. After you end the relationship, whenever you have sex with another person it is almost impossible not to compare it to your previous partner. If the sex is not better than before, you are cursed. This is very dangerous, because if the curse continues for a long period of time it is easy to want to go back to the good sex

In my girlfriend’s case that curse had been in place for a year, and she had already resorted to going back for good sex. We all know that having sex with an ex is like opening Pandora’s Box. Only chaos can come out of that, and of course it did. Finally, the curse had been lifted by the God, the 25 year-old sex God. We could not believe it! It was a miracle! She had been given a gift; somehow this great guy was dropped from the heavens. The God was amazingly hot! His body sparkled with not an ounce of body fat and a six pack, the kind of body that should be on a poster.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As always this happened when she least expected it - she had given up on men and was totally into doing her own thing. Wham! In walks the God, and he is completely into her, but she is too busy to notice. By fate she ends up having a great night hanging out with him, which is then followed by a second night of total and complete sexual bliss. The 25 year-old was fresh and exciting; he also had moves that she has never seen before and boy oh boy did they work. Interestingly enough, the very next day the Ex calls and wanted to go for dinner. Huh! What is it about men? Women have intuition, but men can smell when a woman is getting it, and it just turns them on even more. Over dinner the Ex was working it and definitely wanted some action, but for the first time in a year, she had absolutely no interest in having sex with him. She had something better! God had blessed her; she was free of the curse! Yippee!

Conclusion:

As we raised our Fresh Start martinis to toast the end of the XEX Sex Curse, the ice crystals sparkled in the light and I smiled, because I could tell that a weight had been lifted off my girlfriend. Ironically when she least expected it, she received a miracle and was now free to move on with her life. Her ex would always have a special place in her heart, but she finally realized that she deserved better. The 25 year-old sex God had given her a fresh perspective and made her realize that is was not just better sex that she deserved, but a better guy all round.

As I looked across the table, my friend was glowing just like the crystals in the Fresh Start martini and it was not just from the great sex, but from the realization that she no longer wanted to have sex with her ex. We were not just celebrating that she was getting it from a young hot guy; we were celebrating the fact that after a year she now had a fresh start. This martini is fresh and sweet with the sparkle that makes you want to celebrate. There are lots of reasons to celebrate in life, but the fresh start is one of the best, particularly when the curse has been lifted and there is a big white ball at the bottom of your glass.
