Most people say that an Old Fashioned is the best test of a bartender. Connie says that Don's is good. Solomon calls his wet and bitter martinis "pre-prohibition", so there'd be no bitters in the martinis in <em>Mad Men</em>. It'd be great if the next season has a reference to the Smirnoff product placement in 1962's <em>Dr. No</em> that invented the vodka martini.

I had some kind of absinthe-citrus cocktail and a plate of cheese and pickled herring. Too bad it went under -- I assumed that it was here to stay (although serious drinking is more of a Mad Men retro thing than a contemporary fashion).
