Gherkin Martini. Seriously?

Before you all go wtf is that in there?! Its a Gherkin. 


I get a tad delirious from a full week in front of a PC by Friday afternoons and weird ideas/jokes that aren't even funny come out of my head. I've even revamped the recipe below just for kicks and whilst this is being typed I wonder if a few drops of soy sauce would go well with the original recipe...

Its Friday arvo and my mind is reeling from trading shares and managed funds all morning and deciphering hieroglyphics all arvo....


And the Dirty Martini pops into mind, asking if it can pop around a bit earlier today...


*daydreamer* o.O 


The www is the closest I ever get to many of the things I want (which is an endless list of amazingness), so here I share a recipe from
