Drinks at 4? Yes please.

the ACTUAL martini (not stolen from a website)
Came home tonight and had a hankering for a great dirty martini.  I know, these are going out of style, but I will do anything for the salty deliciousness!  Jason, my husband, is in the wine and liquor business and had a leftover sample bottle of New Amsterdam gin.  We decided to create a gin martini.  I was slightly hesitant, but pleasantly surprised! Jason chilled the glasses and went to work. Needless to say, our "Happy Hour" martini was salty, delicious, and fabulous!
