I didn't know about the price as a friend brought the bottle over. Coctails
are fine, but I mostly drink straight up. On the rocks sometimes. The only
mixed drink that I regularly will drink is a greyhound. Martoonis are okay
too, I'll have to try the Boodles. I went to a martini/poker party Friday
night and the host served 'apple martinis'. Didn't care for them much.
