How could you resist?

I went to not one, but two, martini
bars tonight. The reasons being #1) I
needed to get out of the house and escape my responsibilities #2) I hadn’t seen
my sister-in-law Amy, whom I love, since Christmas and had yet to share a
cocktail with her in 2012. #3) Do I really need a number 3?
In my rush to get out of the house,
I went to the wrong martini bar tonight. After an illuminating phone call and a
mad dash to the right martini bar, I was more than ready for tonight’s
cocktail. I chose a CHOCOLATE COVERED BANANA MARTINI just because
it sounded good, and I was not disappointed. The friendly bartender put the
ingredients above into a shaker, shook it well with ice and put it into a
martini glass drizzled with chocolate. That was a real nice touch, but I was
even more impressed with the sidecar shot glass containing the extras from the
shaker. Props to Billy’s Martini Bar in Mentor, Ohio, for giving its customers
a martini and a half for the price of one martini.
I will definitely be
back to Billy’s because the CHOCOLATE COVERED BANANA MARTINI was delicious,
yummy and all that. I tasted more chocolate than banana, but that is not
necessarily a bad thing. Whenever I use to think of a chocolate covered banana,
I thought of a childhood favorite — Cedar Point Amusement Park. But now I’ll
think of Billy’s Martini Bar. The CHOCOLATE COVERED BANANA MARTINI was that
good. It can erase childhood memories. It was a creamy, decadent treat that one
needs to try at least once in a lifetime, even if you’ve never been to Cedar
Point.

My CHOCOLATE
COVERED BANANA MARTINI was the polar opposite of what girlfriend Patty had- — a
hot n’ dirty martini. Hers was the kind of cocktail that puts your mouth on
fire and your butt in the bar stool for a good, long, while, because it has to be
sipped slowly. The hot n’ dirty featured jalapeno peppers, Tabasco sauce, a
limey flavor and God knows what else in it. Patty enjoyed it, but don’t look
for it in my list anytime soon. The more adventurous I become, the more focused
I become onwhat I like. And it’s kinda nice.
