Dear England and France,

I know that the two of you haven’t always been the best of pals, but I’m glad that you have in certain circumstances been able to lay your differences aside for the sake of the common good. I’m speaking, of course, about the martini. Gin from England, Vermouth from France, cold from Mother Earth herself. This, truly, is a wonderful invention, and our planet would not be where it is today without it. So I salute the both of you, England and France, for giving us the martini.

Cheers,

cp
