Sin City's Top 15 Martinis

by Bodog Casino | Aug 24 2009

What do you think gambling would be without alcohol?

The two have gone together like Sundays and football for over a century, and we really have trouble envisioning Las Vegas existing without a little liquor to make those 100-plus blackjack hands fly by.

One of the main drinks people will sip on while playing is the Martini. We're not sure if it's because James Bond started sipping them shaken and not stirred between baccarat hands but it seems to be what most people want when they get ready to play.

So to honor the 15th anniversary of the Bodog's Online Casino we're going to give you guys the top 15 martinis you need to be nursing while playing...

Chocolate Banana Martini
When you feel like a little desert with some kick, there's no better substitute than the chocolate banana martini. Think of it like the alcohol version of a banana milkshake, perfect for the guy that doesn't want to be diving into a banana split while trying to concentrate on blackjack.

Pumpkin Spice Martini
Playing some blackjack on Halloween? You can still celebrate October 31st without having to dress up like a vampire by ordering the Pumpkin Spice Martini. It tastes like pumpkin pie in liquid form.

Pineapple Upside-Down Cake Martini
If you're playing the Fruit Frenzy online slot machine you need to play this fruity drink. It's pineapple juice and vanilla vodka in a martini glass.

Mexican Martinis
If you like gaming during Cinqo de Mayo this is the perfect drink. Enjoy this margarita based martini while playing the Jackpot Piñatas online slot.

The Cosmopolitan
AKA the Cosmo. The ladies love it because it made an appearance in nearly every episode of Sex and the City. So if you're in your 40s and are more promiscuous than a college freshman this is the drink for you.

The 007 Martini
C'mon you knew this one was coming. The James Bond classic is a drink that's so mainstream you almost feel cheesy requesting it.

Dirty Martini
It's 6 parts gin, 1 part dry Vermouth, 1 part Olive Juice, and garnish with some olives. Pour chilled ingredients into a Martini shaker with 4 pieces of cubed ice. Shake until mist forms on the outside of the shaker. When do you drink this? You guessed it, while you're playing the Dirty Martini slot machine.

The Pear Martini
Another martini great for the Fruit Frenzy slot. The Pear Martini gives you the fresh fruit you need while giving you a little buzz to make hours seem like minutes. Take about 2 oz. of pear vodka (preferably Swedish Pear Absolut), a splash of fresh grapefruit juice, and a squeeze of lime juice.

French Manicure Martini
This is the perfect martini for a French casino game like Baccarat. This classic is made with a mix of Chambord, vodka, pineapple juice and is served with a manicure. Seriously. You'll either look really cool or like a giant douche bag when you order this.

The Apple Martini
AKA the Appletini. It's the drink of Alan Harper of Two and a Half men. Unfortunately Harper isn't the player on that show so drink this if you're divorced and clueless about women.

Original Manhattan Martini
For the guy who enjoys classic, 1950 Vegas gaming. It's made with whiskey, sweet vermouth, ice and bitters.

Espresso Martini
Who needs coffee in the morning? Start your gaming day right with a drink that can give you a buzz and wake you up at the same time!

Classic Vodka Martini
8 parts vodka and 5 drops of dry vermouth. When you just want to game and not think about what martini you feel like sipping on, just order this one.

The Buttery Nipple Martini
For the guy who's already pretty drunk and is trying to hit on the waitress because he's feeling lucky. Get this drink that combines Bailey's and Butterscotch Schnapps while giving your fave waitress a smile only a sex offender could love.

The Chocolate Martini
No fruit, just chocolate. The drink is pretty simple: 1 part Vodka & 1 part Crème de Cacao. But what it lacks in complexity it makes up with... well, chocolate. Who doesn't like chocolate?
