		<description>Thanks for bringing this to our attention.  I&#039;ve changed the title, though in this case the word in question refers to an actual kind of lime and a specific brand of vodka.  

http://www.hangarone.com/fruit4.html

I really don&#039;t like to think of our readers seeing this and being shocked, upset or insulted, and so have changed the title for that reason.  Please know it was not our intention to hurt or offend anyone.  As for the reference to the vodka/lime, it will stay in the article as the context dictates the meaning.

Thanks again!

		<description>I was shocked to see the usage of the word Kaffir for your cocktail! I suggest you investigate on its meaning and rename your cocktails to something that will not be offensive to black South Africans. See below for the dictionary definition. 

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/kaffir

World English Dictionary
Kaffir or Kafir  (ˈkæfə) 
 
— n  , pl -firs , -fir
1.	taboo  (in southern Africa) any Black African
2.	offensive  (among Muslims) a non-Muslim or infidel
 
usage In South Africa the use of this word is nowadays completely taboo, and is indeed actionable in the courts. It is also advisable not to use the word in any of the compounds to which it gave rise.
 
kaffir 
1790, from Arabic qafir  &quot;unbeliever, infidel, impious wretch,&quot; with a lit. sense of &quot;one who does not admit the blessings of God,&quot; from kafara  &quot;to cover up, conceal, deny.&quot; Technically, &quot;non-Muslim,&quot; but in Ottoman times it came to be used almost exclusively for &quot;Christian.&quot; Early Eng. missionaries used it as an equivalent of &quot;heathen&quot; to refer to Bantus in South Africa (1792), from which use it came generally to mean &quot;South African black&quot; regardless of ethnicity, and to be a term of abuse since at least 1934.</description>

		<description>The Mexicans do a tamarino chili lime martini: tequila, lime, chili powder, tamarind water. Crazy but probably as deliciously good as that Earl Grey martini sounds.
As for Clarkson, they might not be classic martinis - in fact, they&#039;re not at all, I agree - but lighten up. It&#039;s alcohol. It&#039;s meant to sweeten moods like yours.</description>

		<description>[...] I entered the pool bar, which felt Jamaica-gone-Miami, a bungalow with an impressive cocktail list and a price tag to come with it. Still new to LA, I chuckled to see that the Cleanse Cocktail – made of water, cayenne pepper and syrup &#8211; went for sixteen bucks. The fresh fruit martinis looked very appealing, but that’s probably just because I’m a sucker for a flavored martini. [...]</description>

		<description>Thanks for the reply Tom.  I had it at a London hotel recently and it was literally the best drink I&#039;ve ever had.  No joke.  I&#039;ll see if I can get my hands on the recipe.</description>
