Agreed. Any alcoholic drinks have never seemed "refreshing" to me. Just like milkshakes aren't refreshing - if anything, they make you even more thirsty!
2 Measures of Hendricks Gin
1 Measure of Tito's Vodka
3/4 Measure of Lillet
2 Nice Napa Bistro garlic stuffed olives with 2 slices of jalapeno between them on a toothpick
Stir very well in ice, served in a 60+ year old 24k gold rimmed cut crystal martini glass.
