The
Melrose Martini
A
great martini drinker once said that “the problem
with the world is that everyone is a few drinks behind”
Well let me tell you that sometimes you need more than
a few to keep up with what is going on in your world.
Every once in awhile life can seem to get out of control.
When you move to a new place it can through any sense
of stability or control that you have out the window,
nothing is the same; you are introduced to a new environment
and new people. One of the most interesting things is
infiltrating a new social group. When you leave your home
it can be like shedding a skin, you can feel overwhelmed
by all the things going on with the people around you,
when you get to a new place it is all exciting and new
for a little while until you realize that the new place
is more insane than the one you left. This was how the
Melrose martini was born.
The Melrose martini
is a combination of Vodka, Triple Sec and cranberry juice.
Now I know what you thinking, this is a Cosmo or Crantini
but actually it stands on its own. Mainly because a Cosmo
will always have some kind of lime in it and Crantinis
technically do not have Triple Sec. The reason this martini
is named the Melrose is because it is easy to drink and
when you end up in a crazy group of people you need to
have a few of these to keep up.
I was having a good
time meeting everyone in my new neighborhood until one
evening when I and my new found friends attended a nice
little martini party. Everything was good for the first
part until a few of the girls started over indulging in
the Melrose martini. It always amazes me what comes out
of peoples mouths after a few to many cocktails.
“All
of a sudden I was transformed into this warped world of
sex, drugs and mayhem!”
Here
I thought that this group of people where relatively normal,
boy was I wrong! All of a sudden I was surrounded by a
women with a least three different personalities, a guy
who openly admitted that he was shallow and was having
sex with 3 different women at the same time one of which
was the girl with the multiple personalities. So if he
counted her as 3 then he was having sex with 5 different
women, cool! Or so he thought. A couple that I thought
had a great relationship was actually a shame. It turned
out that she had a huge cocaine problem that he did not
know about. Another woman who seemed to have it all together
was actually having a long term affair with a much younger
married man. Plus the topper was the addition of the Barbie
twins who where two younger girls that always came to
the parties trying to get couples to have group sex or
threesomes. And this was only the tip of the iceburg.
