MARTINI SHOT

Martini shot is the final shot set-up of the day.  We ran into some trouble locating the origin of this term. Dave Knox, author of Strike the Baby and Kill the Blonde: An Insider's Guide to Film Slang says that the Martini was so named because the next "shot" is in a martini glass, referring to a post-wrap drink. Sounds good to us. I might have to start calling my last shot of the day a "double scotch leave the bottle."

On a side note Martini Shot is also the name of Rob Long's weekly radio segment on KCRW in Los Angeles which we find very useful and definitely hilarious. You can find the podcast on iTunes.
