red bull vodkas are a staple, I can fit 6-7 shots of vodka into a pint glass and fill the rest with red bull and it still tastes great. One of my most favorite drinks is the dirty martini...however you need either vodka or gin- basically take a martini glass, put ice in it...take the mixer- putt olive juice and vodka or gin in it (I prefer gin) with ice and shake it up- pour the ice out of the martini glass (its there to chill the glass), splash some vermouth in it and pour it out..then pour the drink in and drop a few olives in...amazing shit. You can make a standard martini with just vermouth and gin or vodka, but it really helps if you have a martini glass. I'm not sure what you mean by drinking martini straight- a martini is a drink, vermouth is an ingredient in a martini. I got you michael, sometimes beer makes me feel gross and I have to switch to whisky and cokes.
