The Peppermint Martini.
Somebody once said, "If the perfect martini is ever created, it won't be a martini." Contradictory as that sounds, he had a point. The two things that stood between the martini and perfection were gin and vermouth. Substitute Smirnoff for gin and you're halfway home. But what can you substitute for vermouth? We haven't found it yet, but we think we've come close. Peppermint Schnapps! (Honest.) It freshens the plate, makes a well chilled drink even chiller and tastes as briskly explosive on the tongue as it feels going down. An added plus is that after a few sips it makes your mouth taste terrific. You might consider trying one or two when you're getting together with a person you care for. Meantime we'll keep trying to come up with something even more perfect.
