In college, a few friends and I tried to do the "Lebowski Challenge." The rules are simple: drink a White Russian whenever The Dude drinks one. It starts off easy, but it is impossible from the middle onward. I do not recommend it -- it's a terrible idea and it will ruin your desire to have one for years. Making one this weekend, on the other hand? Fantastic idea. Cheers friends!

A drink so renowned it has its own emoji. Gin? Vodka? Your choice, the preparation is the same. This one requires a few more steps than most, but learning to make a proper dry martini is an essential for any home bartender. 🍸
