Has our “National Department of Book Censors” edited out all the feelings-hurting words from these folks who brought slaves everywhere to their plantation owning lords?
From what I’ve read, if you prepare a Martini according to the instructions in the book, You get a watered down drink. Ordinarily, this woukd be undesirable, but if someone was watching you, he would think that you were drinking more alcohol than you actually were.

In case you’re wondering – Oliver Twist was published before the martini is believed to have been invented.

I’m going to incite some verbal violence with this post. Don’t care.
A Martini is Gin and Dry Vermouth and is stirred and served in a “Martini Glass.”
A Vodka Martini is just that. It is shaken as vodka is a much sturdier liquor that gin.
You then have the Vesper which is equal parts gin and vodka.
Anything after that, i.e. the Espresso, Lemon Drop, IS NOT a Martini. it’s a cocktail as they have other ingredients added/ left out.
Some here will disagree. Some will agree.
