Sorry, I haven’t been able to find a distribution list. It’s possible that the folks at the Mystique site would know if you emailed them: http://www.mystiquebrands.com/.

I’ve seen these premade drinks on many different sites, but haven’t actually found them in a store…I think they are in the Boston area…does anyone know for sure? Can you tell me which stores carried the Metropolitan Martinis?

I’ve had these martinis and they are surprisingly, very good. There’s a substantial amount of alcohol to get your friends buzzing and the flavor is smooth and tasty. My favorite is the chocolate - very smooth.

Good idea, but it sounds like Dan and Jennifer are on the Metropolitan Martini sales staff.

That’s a really good point about large venues and arenas. I hadn’t thought of those. This would be a great way to have cocktails at games and concerts, especially since bartenders and concession stands are oftentimes completely swamped there.

The chocolate martini still doesn’t taste quite right to me. However, I think the vodka martini is decent.

I happen to disagree with the article. I work full time and go to school at night for my MBA. What a great way to unwind at the end of the day with these YUMMY and HUGE drinks. I have personally ordered them from nightowl.com and bought them at 2 liquor stores and have been happy with them every time. 10.99 is not a lot for 2 huge drinks when one martini in a bar costs more. I think it is a great idea and recently at the Mohegan Sun I was there for a concert and they were there too!! I bought one and many others seemed to be enjoying them too. A must in everyones fridge!!

I highly disagree with your comments. I tried these martinis at Madison Square Garden during a Knick game. My girlfriend had the apple and I tried the chocolate. While you’re right, I was slightly reluctant at first, they BOTH TASTED AMAZING far better than anything I could make or have ever tried at a bar.

I also think the concept has legs. Its perfect for large venues and arenas.

Wow, scary product idea. I agree with you, I can’t see the market for this. And that apple martini looks nightmarish!

This product sounds awful. The Martini is my favorite drink and I could go on and on about how this item violates nearly every rule of Martini-making. But I won’t. Based on your review, it’s pretty self-evident.

Hopefully people will spend their money on a decent bottle of gin (and vermouth, and olives, and lemons, etc.) instead.
