When I was stationed at Montgomery, Alabama, we'd buy mason jars of shine at a roller rink in Columbus, Georgia.

Ahh. I get it. Different kind of juice. ;^)
Ya, the kind they never heard of, until the indictments started coming down.
I would, but feel free to add bass (anchovies, kippers, squid, etc) to suit individual taste. :-/
But then you have the moonshine martini, you just stick a few pine needle in your mason jar of hooch for a minute, remove needles.

Mine is, too. $20 plastic Singer, no less! But it works, and separates the pulp, which I can use in breads.
TMI, and now you realize just how much fiber there is in juice. But nix the Immodium. It's bad for you. Just drink less juice more often for health.

Screw the lid off a pint of 100 proof Tangueray gin, pitch lid out car window, after much discussion with your drinking partner, mark the halfway point with your thumb, drink down to the marked point and pass to partner, they discard empty bottle out the other window.
Perfect martini.
basilisk
They make 100 proof Tanq gin!!?? On what planet and how much are tickets?

Nahh, that's just gin. For it to be a martini you need a picture of a vermouth bottle in the car.

I believe the standard prescription is pouring the gin while looking at a portrait of Lorenzo Schwartz, the inventor of vermouth. So just tape a picture to the dash.
"Shaken, not stirred" - British Secret Service agent James Bond. I should be that "effete", grin.

reason the debonair Bond wants his martini shaken is that he is an iconoclast. He's not drinking a martini at all! He's drinking a vodka martini. There's a difference, as we shall see. Pay close attention--we will not use the terms interchangeably but it's easy to get confused.

Some connoisseurs believe that shaking gin is a faux pas, supposedly because the shaking "bruises" the gin (a term referring to a slight bitter taste that can allegedly occur when gin is shaken). In Fleming's Casino Royale novel, it is stated that Bond "watched as the deep glass became frosted with the pale golden drink, slightly aerated by the bruising of the shaker," suggesting that Bond was requesting it shaken because of the vodka it contained. Prior to the 1960s, vodka was, for the most part, refined from potatoes (usually cheaper brands). This element made the vodka oily. To disperse the oil, Bond ordered his martinis shaken; thus, in the same scene where he orders the martini, he tells the barman about how vodka made from grain rather than potatoes makes his drink even better. Other reasons for shaking tend to include making the drink colder or as Bond called it, ice-cold. Shaking allows the drink to couple with the ice longer thus making it far colder than if it were to be stirred. Shaking is also said to dissolve the vermouth better making it less oily tasting. While properly called a Bradford, shaken martinis also appear cloudier than when stirred. This is caused by the small fragments of ice present in a shaken martini.
There now. Do not touch power tools for 12 hours, please.
