Playboy, in its early days, ran a lot of these small ads for cocktail and liquor accoutrements. This one’s pretty awesome, and I’d love one.
I mean, it’s perfect, right? At least assuming you like your martinis at 4 to 1, and I do. And I love that it’s normative in this era (unless you’re a Mortini drinker) to expect a 3.5 ounce cocktail.
What would be rather intense is a Martini Giger, perhaps shaped like alien skulls and limbs.
3.5 ounce cocktails are the reason that it was possible to have a three Martini Lunch and still be able to go back to work. Imagine doing that today with our super-sized servings, you’d be completely in the bag.
