Appeasing both the Martini Goddess and Poker Goddess

Saturday night was a blast at Taylor and Tawny's.
Martinis were drunk:
The Martini Goddess would be pleased. We mixed up her recipe and agreed it was truly nectar of the gods. Then we hit upon the ever-so-brilliant idea that rather than mix them two martinis at a time (one recipe - two glasses), we should mix up a batch of four. And then it hit us - if a batch of four was good, then a batch of TEN was even better; this was immediately followed by the plan of mixing TWENTY. Which filled the pitcher and emptied the vodka bottle.
Poker was played:
The Poker Goddess would be pleased. I played really well, aggressively taking some pots. Hunny Bunny actually sat down and played, and for what I believe to be the first and last time.....it's really not his thing (a fact that I'm secretly pleased about, truth be told). I faded early due to not enough sleep the last few nights (gee, wonder why) and again tried to push with pocket 8's. Taylor pushed back harder, and my subconscious again ignored the signs and went all in. Duh. His Jacks held, and I was out in 3rd. But at least it was ITM. I tried to make it to the second game, but I was pretty much done in.
Tawny, thank you so much for the martinis and the cake.....YOU ROCK!!!!

You can premix and put martinis in an empty water bottle for travel....four martinis fit into a 500ml water bottle exactly. Just pour on ice and you are good to go. Or if you plan to share... you can premix into a two litre pop bottle. Works for camping.
