The InBoxtini

The InBoxtini is a drink I made up that’s a regular dirty martini made with five parts Hendrick’s gin, one part dry vermouth, olive juice, and olives. It’s served up and chilled, but you drink it in a rocks glass — unlike the one pictured — so it doesn’t spill everywhere, and you drink it while you go through the things in your inbox you were supposed to deal with this week but didn’t. Starred emails, emails you put in folders you forgot you made, spam you sift through for stuff you might have wanted. Drink it at your leisure as you do your tasks, and when the inboxtini’s over, stop using email and close your computer. It’s very simple, and I plan to enjoy one shortly.
