Just a brief rant, from riding the subway too often:
There's this drink called, I think, Remy Red, a cognac and fruit juice blend. I've never had it--I'm mostly a cider drinker. But they're spending a lot of money on ads on the train cars.
On one of them, they're suggesting something they called a "Remy red martini." As far as I can tell, the only connection it has with a martini is the shape of the glass: it's equal parts Remy Red and vodka, with a long curl of lime peel hanging out of it, served in a frozen martini glass.
What happened to the vermouth? And the gin? Vodka, cognac, and fruit juice might be someone's idea of an appealing drink, but a martini?
