3. Apple Schnapps.
Kidding. I don't even drink anymore. But the look on your face when you read "Apple Schnapps" must have been priceless.

9. You know... I thought they would be good
I love garlic, I am often told I use waaaaay too much when I cook but I love it. I really thought garlic stuffed olives for a martini would be a natural for me but... Not so much, heh. The tastes just did not blend well at all for me.
