This week's links don't know what you should call them, in case they sound like a dick.

Table Matters looks at the evolution of the Martini, while the WSJ looks back at the Whiskey Sour (the Katherine Hepburn of drinks? That'd make a Martini, who? Audrey Hepburn? Negroni - Federico Fellini, that's easy. Long Island Iced Tea - Pete Doherty? OK, stop now.)
