If I like it, I'll (eventually) post it with a "submited by" credit, origin, etc. As far as Tiki Mug size drinks, good idea, but with tiki mugs, sizes vary from as little as 10 oz up to 32oz + , and Bowls can be any size. two people, four people, six people.... so there is not really a standerd to use there. But thanks for the input! theJab. Hmmmmm. I use a 15" Mac, so I'll check it out. Also, the saying that a good Martini should always be shaken to waltz time comes from the Thin Man. I have found that there are as many ways to make a Good Martini as there are drinkers of same. My only rule concerning the Martini is that it contain primarly Gin and Vermouth. ( I don't go in for all the chocolate Martinis and apple Martinis, etc. Thoses may be fine cocktails, but they are not Martinis ) Shaken or stirred (as well as Vodka) is at the discretion of, and should always be specified by, the drinker... If you ever come to the 821, I'll most certainly make 'em as you like 'em. Atomic Cocktail I don't remember where I got the French 75 recipe. It was scribbled in my bar log, so I went with it. The ones I remember drinking most were simply Gin and Champagne with a twist of Lemon. I have a couple other versions which I have yet to put up (including the Mr. Boston version). The Cognac made sense to me because I think soldiers in War torn France would have more likely found stashes of Cognac and Champagne than Gin and Champagne. As far as the namesake, I have heard two stories. One that it was named after the 75mm cannons, and another that it was named after the MAS rifle. That was why I included both. I belive that the French bolt-action MAS 36 rifle you refer to has a caliber of 7.5 mm (7.5 X 54) which is why I mistakenly called it a MAS 75.
