Martinis at Midnight

The Rebound Martini

The Rebound Martini

Have you ever been at a point in your life where you just need a little push? Sometimes you need a little nudge to get back out into life. The Rebound martini is the perfect cocktail for the push. It has just the right mix of liquid courage to give you that jolt you need to step back into the single scene.

The Rebound martini is an interesting blend of Lemon Vodka and Coconut Rum. This initially may sound too sweet but the key to this martini is the splash of scotch in the glass before you shake. With the addition of orange juice and sour mix this martini takes on the perfect balance of sweet and sour. The Rebound martini is smooth so it has a tendency to go down quickly which is good because the liquid courage is usually needed to take the plunge back into single hood.

We have all been on the rebound at some point in our lives. It is the time period directly after a relationship breakup. Being on the rebound can be very liberating and enlightening but it can also have moments that are heart wrenching and lonely. This is a time in your life where you are generally completely screwed up. Both men and women experience the rebound period it is interesting that when it is occurring both sexes completely deny that they are anything less than fabulous. Denial is what makes this period of your life live able. The Rebound period is all about the unknown this is a time when the weirdest things tend to happen. It is great that we have a martini that can help get us through it all.

Being on the rebound is all about getting back out there. When we are in a relationship it is safe and content, but when you are on the rebound it is scary to risk opening yourself up to rejection. After a relationship ends there is the morning period, both sexes experience this but they react in different ways. Women lose weight and go shopping. Men work out and buy really expensive toys like cars, bikes and boats. With both sexes it is all about making themselves feel better. So when it comes to stepping out into the dating realm

“It is all about being reassured that they still “Got It!”

When is comes to dating when you are on the rebound this is when you usually need a push from your friends and a nudge from this martini to get back out there. The men usually want to go out and get laid by as many different women as possible, they are all about sampling from the single pond, because it has been off limits for far to long.

The women are generally completely different, they have absolutely no interest is having sex; they just want to see if they can still flirt and attract men. With a woman it is all about reassuring her that she is still desirable, they want the attention but it is much safer to hang out with their girlfriends. There are a few exceptions of course; when the women has been sexually deprived in her past relationship then she will want to get some action to make sure her plumbing still works. The other exception is if she is on a mission to make sure she has sex before her ex has sex. Like I mentioned earlier this is not the most stable point of a person’s life.

The rebound time period can vary in length based on the following factors: how much the person was in love and whether they were the dumper or dumpee at the end of the relationship. The minimum time period for the rebound is 2 months. The average time period seems to be 2 weeks for every year that the person was in the relationship. But I personally think that the more you put yourself back out there the shorter the rebound period is. It is hard being on the rebound because there is such a stigmatism that is attached to it. As soon as a member of the opposite sex finds out that you are on the rebound they generally take a wide birth because they do not want to be the reboundee. There is a huge risk because no one wants to get emotionally attached to someone on the rebound, because if you do eventually you are going to get the line "I am just not ready to commit to another relationship" or "I am just not ready it is too soon." However, there are always those people that you are attracted even though they are in a relationship, when they become single you do not want to be the reboundee but if you wait to long to ask them out they usually get snatched up by someone else because they are a hot commodity. With this in mind you are better to take the risk then run the chance of losing out all together.

Conclusion:

The Rebound martini is one of those cocktails that everyone needs at some point in there life. It is a martini that is the perfect balance of orange sweetness and lemon sour. This balance creates a martini that is strong and smooth and is meant to give you some liquid courage. When you are on the rebound it is all about putting yourself back out into the single scene, sometimes you need a slight nudge to make that happen. The addition of the scotch in this martini is that nudge. Remember that when you are on the rebound it is a time in your life when you are in denial about your sanity so keep the martinis to a minimum and take the plunge into single hood slightly sober. You never know what is going to happen. You just might get scooped up by the most amazing person, yet! Cheers to that!
